He’s completed the triple crown of 200s, which is three 200 mile races in three months. He was once voted #3 on the list of the 50 fittest over 50 years old, beating out

Welcome back, it’s Tuesday, June 29th and I’ve got another hitter for you! Paul Maurer is a runner and an author and he recently published a fantastic novel called The Unforgiving Line. I read the book and I really enjoyed it. It’s well written and I love the way the author spins the tale. Paul has written several books, some about running and others not so much. This book, tells the story of an older man who was once an elite runner but at the critical moment, blew it and harbors a lot of

2021/06/22

I’ve got another fabulous guest for you all this week. Her name is Laura Kaplan and to anyone who was at the Cocodona 250 this year, she was the one who was affectionately known as the nosebleed girl! Yes, she was the one you may have seen pictures of. Bloody nose, toilet paper stuffed in her nose and STILL MOVING FORWARD. She completed Cocodona and just a few weeks later, ran another hundred miler. I think she recovers like we all wish we did. She’s a ball of fire and she’s putting on lots of miles

Welcome back to another episode of the DO BIG THINGS podcast. It’s Tuesday, June 1st. I’ve got a great guest for you guys this week and I was really looking forward to sitting down and getting to know him. His name is Taylor Spike. He’s an ultrarunner and he most recently finished the Cocodona 250! I enjoyed talking to this guy because to me, he’s relatable. He isn’t a professional athlete with tons of support and sponsorships. He’s a regular guy that works a full time job and uses his vacation

2021/05/25

As many of you know, May is mental health awareness month. I’ve done a couple of episodes on this topic this month and I wanted to squeak one more in. My guest today, Sean Van Horn is a fellow struggler. And I say that with the most reverence and affection I can. He’s an outstanding athlete. He came up in the cycling world and eventually got into ultrarunning and skiing. He’s an all around mountain endurance guy. Last year he completed Nolan’s 14, which for me is pretty much the pinnacle

I’ve got an outstanding guest for you this week. His name is Michael Versteeg and he just won the inaugural Cocodona 250! He’s been in the sport for a while and you may or may not have heard his name. He is a standout figure in the Arizona trail running world and I’m so happy to have him on the show. To tell you the truth, we had to record the show twice for you guys. We recorded it once and about 20 minutes into the show the sound quality started sounding really awful.

2021/05/11

I’ve got an outstanding guest for you guys today. He is fairly new on the ultramarathon scene but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been at it for a while. I once heard someone say, it takes 10 years to be an overnight success and that definitely applies to our guest today. This man’s name is Taggart VanEtten and he just broke the WORLD RECORD for running the fastest 100 mile run on a treadmill! He did it in 11 hours and 32 minutes. That comes out to about 6:55 / mile. FOR A HUNDRED MILES! I’m so pumped

2021/05/06

You know why I love Collin Morris? Because he called me up and said “I just started running 6 months ago and I’m signed up for Leadville 100”. That was all I needed to hear. I liked him. I was in. He was looking for a coach and to be honest, I let him know, listen man, that’s a tall order. I don’t think it’s impossible, but it’s a tall order. Since then, he has been doing everything I throw at him and he is doing great and on his way to the big one, the Leadville 100. I was pretty pumped he wanted

Thank you for tuning in to another episode of the DO BIG THINGS podcast. This installment is a solo episode where I remember my good buddy Logan Polfuss. Anyone who knew Logan probably has a lot of Logan stories and these are a few of mine. He was a young man that had the craziest and most adventurous spirit of anyone we knew. Logan tragically died in a skydiving accident on October 18, 2018. I want a few of these stories to be remembered because he was such a special kid. Logan was loved by

I’ve got a great guest for you guys today with SUCH an inspirational story. When you think of someone who is homeless and alcoholic, would you think that that person could be a sub 2:20 marathoner? It doesn’t seem to fit, right? It seems like two completely different worlds. My guest today, Richard Dodd ran a whole mess of marathons in the 80’s alongside his twin brother. Both of them were blazing fast. They were winning marathons, qualifying for and running Boston every year and Richard eventually
