In this episode of the Blueprint Ultra Podcast, we sit down with Caleb Baity to talk about his journey into ultra running and what it took to be one of only 20 finishers of the Barkley Fall Classic this year.

We also look to his next race, the Beast of the East 100, which he DNFed after being in first place through 75 miles back in 2023 and his plans to redeem himself this year.

Caleb also shares his unique nutrition approach to long runs and offers a great hack on how to save money on some of expensive hydration brands out there. Sot take a few minutes, and join as we learn from Caleb.Connect with Caleb on Instagram @caleb_baity_ or on Strava

On this episode of the podcast, we talk to Tonya Olson who is the co-author of the book Fixing Your Feet. We talk how to prepare your feet before a race, caring for your feet during a race, and also some post race tips. The show is packed with content and we think that knowing how to take care of your feet is one of those important tools in the toolbox as you are putting together your own blueprint for running ultras.Connect with Tonya on IG: @tonyakolsondptWebsite: https://www.drtonyafootcare.com/Also, Tonya shared some post podcast video links for you that you can check out here.Here's my foot strengthening video: https://vimeo.com/993793434And, one to bulletproof your plantar fascia, ankle, calves.My heel raise protocolhttps://vimeo.com/999141770From Tonya: "The heel raises are best done on a slant board, or off a 2x4, or something that feels like a good stretch when your heel is at the bottom. It's essential that you're doing these so your heel lands on a solid surface, not off a step into the great abyss."

If we told you that the guest on this episode has run the Scout Mountain 100 and then the Bighorn 100 two weeks later. And, at the time of this recording was preparing to run the Wasatch 100, just two months after Bighorn, AND three weeks after Wasatch will be running the Bear 100, what would you say? If you are like us, we are just blown away by that kind of endurance. How do you recover? How do you train for this? And good grief, just how? But, what if we also told you that this guest is only 18? Yeah, we felt that way too. Want to learn more from even those that are younger than you, then this is an inspiring episode of what is possible.
