It’s hard to believe that “Running Dutchie” https://runningdutchie.org/ Lucja Leonard – one of the most prolific 200-milers on the planet – tipped the scales at 200 lbs. before turning to ultramarathoning and stage-racing in 2013. Born in the Netherlands and raised in Australia, Leonard is highly sought as a coach – and one of the most respected competitors in the sport, with scores of head-turning finishes including the Arizona Monster 300-miler; Race Across Scotland 215; Canada’s Divide 200 (where she nearly fell off a cliff in a rain storm after evading grizzlies); and the Transgrancanaria 126 K in Spain’s Canary Islands. Lucja and CHASING THE CUTOFF’s Troy Eid discuss Lucja’s remarkable journey, including her many running adventures with husband Dion Leonard, who gained international acclaim for his New York Times bestseller, FINDING GOBIhttps://www.findinggobi.com/, the single most-celebrated dog rescue by any ultramarathoner.Lucja: https://www.instagram.com/runningdutchie/?hl=en

CHASING THE CUTOFF’S Troy Eid talks with John Lacroix – visionary founder and race director of the Human Potential Running Series (HPRS). A seasoned ultramarathoner who directed the first 200-mile ultramarathon in the United States, John has garnered international respect for the success of the HPRS race series, including the Sangre de Cristo and Silverheels ultramarathons in Colorado’s High Country. HPRS reflects John’s own egalitarian philosophy: Eschewing the sport’s burgeoning commercialization and “the worshipping of elites,” and instead focusing on personal transformation while building community and a spirit of belonging.

Hezel Magwili recently became the first Filipino ever to beat the 100-hour cutoff time in the 2025 Race Across Scotland 215-Miler. Hezel and Troy Eid, who shared some memorable miles on the trails in their successful quests to run from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, talk about how Hezel has transformed his 30,000 steps per day career delivering mail up and down London staircases into a potent training strategy for tackling the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (UTMB) and other world-class endurance competitions.
