2019/11/22

Episode 50: One Day with Rachel Belmont Some people run to be the fastest. Some run to see how far they can go. Others run to heal themselves, or to help serve others. Rachel Belmont is a young athlete who has run for all of these reasons. From running sub 5 minute miles, to running 100 miles, her adventurous spirit has taken her to many exciting places.

Mr. Trailmixer himself Michael LoPresti sits down with the crew tonight as Evil Becky takes over the hosting reigns from Art F&%*ing Byram and we dive deep into 2019's hot button issue, mental health.

The Crew sits down with RD Jimmy Mac (and CULTRA co-host slash cast member, how convenient) to recount the inaugural Pachaug Trail Runs, as Art keeps him on task (squirrel blinders) by asking pointed questions and demanding pointed answers. We go over the history and conception of the idea for the race and all the associated rigamarole. Hashtag very special episode or nah? Then the interviews! MONKEY SPLICE!

Episode 47 Its About Timed Races

Cultra Trail Running ·

2019/11/01

It’s about time we talked about Timed Races. They are a great way to dip your toe into the ultra world or a new distance PR. Evil Becky and AFB offer suggestions on how to set up your gear, what to bring to the race, pacing strategies, bad nutrition advice and what mental games to play to keep you moving! We talk about how to choose a race. Some people are afraid that running in circles would drive them crazy. But every lap is different, and draws you into the experience. Kinda Like Cultra…

2019/10/26

“If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again...” is the motto of the week here at CULTRA HQ as we welcome back Regan Fitzgibbons to the podcast, and this one sure doesn’t disappoint. Yeah that’s right, I quoted Aaliyah right there, but I digress. The crew this week discusses the TARC Ghost Train 100 up in New Hampshire, then Art does something insanely stupid and awesome at the same time (which can be said for basically any accomplishment in ultrarunning, especially ones we forgot

Cultra Trail Running ·

2019/10/18

The second installment of CULTRA Live! from Connecticut Sports and Fitness and Art does a bang up job rallying the troops to talk about our experiences with failure, specifically our big ultra fails. What works? Who cares- this episode is all about what didn't work and maybe we learned something. We deep dive into Eliud Kipchoge's sub-2 stunt and Brigid Kosgei's dominating performance in Chicago and 81-second takedown of the women's world marathon record. We talk about it 4% faster like the SHOES

This week’s CULTRA we come back at you with a repeat offender, one Mister Andy O and his dominating run down at YETI 100 two weeks ago. He obliterated his previous 100-mile PR by a good two and a half hours. That's some serious #hundo speed folks. Before that we go into Jimmy's day at the Nipmuck Marathon and preview the upcoming races this weekend: the Midstate Massive in Massachusetts and the Tesla Hertz Run out on Long Island. Art also ran the Nipmuch Relay and he suddenly is fit AF! Alpacas! Woo

Hey kids, have you ever wondered what it might be like to have your significant other pace and crew you for your first hundred? Buckle up, because this is that episode! We welcome the outstanding former (and/or current) ass-kicking OCR husband and wife team of Geoff and Jamie Miller into the CULTRA Studios to recount their harrowing ordeal of Geoff’s first #hundo down at Yeti 100 in Virginia last week.

Cultra Trail Running ·

2019/09/27

Do you have an ego? Sure, we all do. But does your ego get you in trouble on the trails ever? I hope so, because then you're going to definitely relate to the crew tonight. Evil Becky, AFB and Jimmy Mac sit down and go deeper than they've ever gone, getting honest, vulnerable and LOOK A SQUIRREL! No seriously, it's a very special CULTRA, I know I say that every episode but damn it, it's just true. We start off discussing the difference between "running" a race and "racing" a race (if you don't know

Hey Cultra Nation! It's always a party in the belly of the beast and Jay Mitchell joins us tonight to talk about racing and training and his interesting childhood as well as taking a helicopter ride down a mountain for some fast new Strava CRs. Art had a really good week (re: insane triathlon training), Becky is back to crushing her runs (re: fully recovered from Notchview finally) and Joe is starting a new streak by making it this week after a rare absence (re: new job).

AFB, Jimmy Mac and Evil Becky recap their weeks, talk about the Tunxis Ultra results (maybe we go off on a tangent re: Ray Crothers). Congrats to all the finishers at Tunxis tho.

2019/09/06

Tonight we sit down with a repeat offender; one Lee-Stuart Evans, he of the "I Broke the FKT Site" fame. Lee explains in detail his New England Trail fastest known time (FKT for those in the back, seriously pay attention) and gives a lot of cracking advice on just how to set these records, and why after two days of hiking and running the planned crossing of the Connecticut River with a makeshift raft was probably going to be a bad idea. We dive deep into what makes a legitimate FKT- with little to

Michael Byrne is an ultrarunner and he started his ultra career swinging for the fences, and he recounts it all in gory detail. Hear how he ended up on tonight's show (hint: Christina Chin-Hing may be involved. Hint to the hint: she's on the SHOW TONIGHT, oh wow my third favorite triathlete!) and what amazing things he has tried and done. We get sidetracked numerous times by Jimmy's severe ADHD and he even saw a bear! Art is a full-time triathlete now, he keeps doing massive swim workouts and I'm

Show Notes: Once again, the CULTRA Crew members (aka slackers) BRoc and Jimmy Mac are M.I.A., which means all sense of normalcy is gone and we’re left to our own devices. So, what should we do? Argue about race management and the future of ultra running? Nah, so yesterday. Discuss Joe’s naked hiking adventures? Well, it wouldn’t be a podcast if we didn’t at least mention it. Ridicule and shame our absent crew members? Of course! But what else? Could this be the episode where someone

Hey Cultra Nation! Have we got a good one for you today, it's a very special episode with the one and only Howie Breinan sitting in with us and his story is amazing. First ultra finish before the age of 10? Check. Several breaks followed by huge comebacks? Check. Triumph over adversity? Check. This show has everything, and the term "hundo" is ubiquitous (as is epic, stout, beta, etc.), Art has an extra helping of potty mouth tonight (and gets called out for it), Jimmy makes a bold, dare I say

This show was not on Strava, yet it still happened. After discussing FKT’s and making fun of Jimi Mac and B-Roc, Evil Becky Burke, Highlander, and AFB take a deep dive into Self Esteem and how running impacts our lives. We also look at Ultra social media. Does it make us better runners or just make us depressed? Are ultra runners super heroes, or selfish boors who torture their families in pursuit of the perfect run. Are we more than just our running. Is Ultra running extreme, or is it just

No guests tonight, just raw unfiltered Cultra Crew right to the dome! Hundo, B-Roc, AFB, Jimmy Mac and Evil Becky deliver one of the worst shows in recent memory. “Arguably our worst show to date” says Art Byram in disgust after the show. “Two thumbs down” says Canadian Trail Fishing Magazine. Look, if you like shows that go off topic a lot, have no point and shit audio, we are the best podcast in North America then. I mean, we’re just five people that love laughing at our own jokes, and let me tell

The Vermont 100 mile endurance race was Hot. We take a look at the race through the eyes of a fine tuned grand slammer, a 16 time grouchy veteran grinder (#RIPNIPSEYHUSTLE), a gutsy first timer, and an Evil Crew/Volunteer. Each bring their own perspective to a very challenging day. We discuss all of the tricks that they used on the trails on a day where more than half the field had to drop. Very interesting stuff, if you like hearing about ultra running, and I suppose you do right? Most

Cultra Trail Running ·

2019/07/19

Andy O is a man from Earth. He runs ultras. Occasionally he wins them. He is a quality human being. He makes bread and pretzels and beer for fun. Sometimes he gives those things to people to eat and drink. More people should be like Andy O. Andy has known Brian for over two decades. They allegedly have hidden bodies together. Not because they both have Italian last names and allegedly have mob ties (I said "allegedly" you lawyer POS) but because that's what you do for your best friends. I'd hide a
