Episode #39 - Louanne Wiant

Vol State: It"s All About the People ·

2024/12/18

Talk about resilience. There have been (and still are) obstacles that have been placed in Louanne's path. The strength she exhibits, though, will make you want to bearound her just in case some of might rub off on you. Listen to her tips and advice and take heed. She knows what she's talking about. And you all know by now I'm a big proponent of slowing down on day 1. Here is a woman who agrees with me. So, of course, I enjoyed this episode. Seriously, though, it's full of stories about people and

Episode #38 - Jim Halsey

Vol State: It"s All About the People ·

2024/12/11

This week I am so lucky to have Jim Halsey on. Tomorrow is his birthday so I hope you all listen in time to wish him well. This interview was stellar. Jim is a wealth of knowledge and I know people will benefit from it. He no longer runs the races so it's a great listen for those, like me, who just walk the course. His experience is evident in his talk, yet he still remains very humble about the journeys.

2024/11/20

Everyone wanted this interview with Gina because of 2024 HOTS but Gina wanted to talk about Vol State first. And since she was one of two people who saved my race in 2023, I definitely wanted to have her on the show. She is funny and full of life and I am sure you're going to love listening to her.

Vol State: It"s All About the People ·

2024/11/13

Great to publish this just before his birthday on the 17th! Most of us know PK as he always lays himself and his emotions open on our Facebook page.

After all this is "All about the people".

Episode #33 - Julie Jordan and Trish Stone

Vol State: It"s All About the People ·

2024/11/06

We all know that 2024 Vol State was the last year with crews allowed. These two people explain what it's like to start screwed and then eventually switch - either to crewed status or being crewed. Trish also has what I consider the most profound story about what her return to Vol State taught her. It's pretty captivating and it was fun to have both of them on the show.

Episode #30 - Brian Purcell

Vol State: It"s All About the People ·

2024/10/16

Brian fits my definition of a "Laz Addict" if I ever met one. He's done all the races - HOTS, Vol State and Third Circle! Of course, there are many more races in his resume, but we focus on the Laz journey runs. He offers so many tips, even I had to listen again and hurry to scribble them down. He also has some insights into crewing as he crewed his wife at Vol State in 2024. I know you'll love this one.

Vol State: It"s All About the People ·

2024/10/09

Nancy Barber was one of two people who saved my race in 2023 and she began the saving on day 1 at about mile 23! She has many stories of her own and you should be able to pick up a copy of her new book: Vol State 500K: A Journey Through Madness, Blurring the Lines of American Division. Her favorite descriptor of her running/hiking behavior is "lolly-gagging". Listen to find out how she mastered that in 2023.

2024/10/02

This up and coming young man has definitely risen to the top in 2024. Although there are several audio glitches since Addison had to do the interview at a rest stop while he's on the road, I think you'll enjoy listening to his enthusiasm and hearing about his winning races.

Episode #26 - Mark and Beth Budden

Vol State: It"s All About the People ·

2024/09/18

This is the first running couple we've featured - both on here together. If you know Mark and Beth, then you are familiar with "we're never doing this again" echoing in the background as they toe the start line for the next "Torture By Laz". It was so much fun listening to how they started running ultras and how they do them together. I think you'll enjoy this a lot.
