On this week’s episode, we sit down with ultra running legend Hal Koerner. With more than 150 ultra finishes and over 100 podiums, Hal has built a remarkable career on the trails.

He walks us through his journey in the sport—from his early days of racing to becoming a business owner and now coaching other runners along the way. We talk about endurance, growth, and what it really takes to go the distance, both on and off the trail.

Hal brings so much wisdom and experience to this conversation, and we know you’ll take something from it.

Thanks for joining us on the run!

In this episode, we sit down with Amy Clark, editor of Ultra Running Magazine, to hear the story behind her journey into the sport and the role running has played in shaping her life. Amy shares how she got her start, what keeps her connected to the ultra community, and why every runner’s story matters. It’s a conversation about passion, persistence, and finding meaning on the trail. As always, thanks for joining us on the run!

This episode is a full pre-race mental spiral—from Winter Olympics chatter to how we actually prepared for the upcoming Music City Trail Ultra. It’s a wild ride through training strategies, injury prevention, fueling, hydration, and the mental games that come with toeing the line of an ultra.

We reflect on past race experiences, talk through what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and share the mindset we’re bringing into race day. Like most long runs, the conversation wanders—but it always circles back to the joy of chasing big goals and being part of the running community.

Thanks for joining us on the run.
