Episode 29:
Tim explains his medical reasons as to why there hasn't been any new episodes in a lengthy amount of time.

The max cushion movement. A trend that was started by Hoka One One during a time when minimalist footwear was gaining in popularity and trending at the time. 

Maximum cushion footwear was embraced by ultra runners for the cushion, minimal weight, stability and shock absorbency. Now, many other brands of footwear are designing shoes to mimic and/or rival those from Hoka.

Episode 27:
Ultra Marathoner Kelly Hutchins joins the podcast to discuss his recent Western States 100 finish. Western States is one of the, if not the, most iconic 100 mile races in the country.  Western States is the oldest 100 mile race in the world.

Kelly discusses how he trained and prepared for the race and the approach that he took to just soak it all in and have a good time.  The lottery to get in and 7 years of waiting before being selected are just a few of the topics we break down.

Overall, it was a fun interview with some moments of emotion. Enjoy!

Episode 25:
Our guest on the show is Adventure & Ultra runner Phillip North. Phillip shares his story of running/power hiking Rim to Rim to Rim - a 48 mile journey through the Grand Canyon on April 13th.

It's really two adventures rolled into one story. The 1st adventure details the planning and coordinating leading up to. Everything from forgetting his running shorts, trying to catch a bus that doesn't start running its route until May, needing to sleep in his car because his time share was 2.5 hours away, and underestimating the weather down inside the canyon.

The 2nd adventure details the actual running of Rim to Rim to Rim with a total time of 16:51 and a total moving time of 12:18. Through the breathtaking views and challenging 11,000 feet of elevation gain, Phillip was able to “Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see.”

Before talking about the great aforementioned adventure, we spent some time talking about his first time as a Race Director with the Red Cedar Half Marathon Trail Run at Giant City State Park. Make sure you look for the 2023 version of the event if interested in jumping in on the fun next year!

Episode 23:
Our guest on the show is Kyle Orso. Kyle is the Race Director for the 80 Mile River to River Relay across Southern Illinois and the Tunnel Hill 10 Miler. Kyle has been the RD for Tunnel for two years now. The successful 2022 Relay event was year number one as RD.

Kyle talks about what it was like to be the first year RD and the logistics involved in putting together a relay that starts at the Mississippi River in Southern Illinois and finishes 80 miles later at the Ohio River. 

Kyle explains the details in working with the various communities involved as the Relay rolls through their towns and cities, the number of volunteers it takes to pull off such an endeavour, and what he learned from his first year.

Episode 22:
Our guest on the show is Shawn Gossman with Hiking With Shawn. Shawn shares the story of what led him to be involved in cycling and hiking the Shawnee National Forest.

Shawn's passion for cycling and hiking eventually evolved into the popular Hiking With Shawn Youtube channel. Shawn provides guiding, does public speaking and writes several blogs. Shawn has provided many guided tours to the well known "Snake Road" area of the forest.

Shawn provides details of many of his favorite trails, but the reality of it is, there are way too many hiking trails throughout the Shawnee that we simply could not cover them all. Maybe a part 2 coming in the future.
