Running Inside Out Podcast

Katie Gailey shows up out of the blue to talk about how she got herself involved in the crazy world of ultra running. For those of you that don’t know, in 2017 Katie found the trails and then started running some of the biggest ultras around... we're talking Many on the Genny, Cayuga 50 and even Twisted Branch 100k... plus some other crazy stuff... Special Guest: Katie Gailey.

Erica Mead rushes in to talk about her running. We really focus in on how Erica has 'grown and matured' as she has gotten older. Erica ran a lot of hard fast miles in 2017 and while fun, resulted in her spending the first half of 2018 recovering from a major injury and finishing it with a 50k in Canada. Now it's 2019 and her injury is behind her. So now what? Special Guest: Erica Mead.

Mark Streb sprints into the studio to quickly tell us some of his running stories. We chat about going from being a lazy kid to running in two Chase Corporate Challenge World Championships. We also talk about Road Kill Racing, Cross Country, and Snowshoe running. Special Guest: Mark Streb.

Scott Parr joins to talk about what got him into the world of running, pushing the limits of his body and finding fun in the suffering. Scott had a pretty awesome 2018 that included three pretty big ultras in Many on the Genny, Cayuga Trails and Twisted Branch. In addition to 2018 memories, he drops some pretty big plans for the future as well. 071_Scott_Parr_DamGood https://uploads.fireside.fm/images/0/04dc5a6a-32ff-45bb-8b25-9b777b81a4c8/20yNqDTx.jpg Ripping up the trails at Dam Good 2013!

Mike Welden is back. Like literally. Last we heard from Mike, he had just run a smokin 13:34 at Laurel Highlands Ultra. And then, nothing. Where'd he go, what'd he do? Turns out, those answers are "everywhere" and "a lot", mostly. It's complicated. Listen in as Mike, in typical Welden-esque fashion weaves us the tale of a 2017 gone awry and a 2018 on the cusp.

We talk about some other stuff too, but you should listen to find out what that's all about.

Jen Malik chat's about roads, snakes, roads, sticks that looks like snakes. But seriously, Jen is a fastie who has won some marathons (one before and one after having a baby!) and placed pretty high in some long trail races (2nd at Sehgahunda, 3rd in Twisted Branch) even though she runs (and trains!) only on roads and considers herself a novice on the trails.

He's 43 and running as well as he ever has, so there are probably some gems of wisdom in here. Take notes.
