Front Range LIVE: Geeking Out on Sports Nutrition

Last week, we had a heartfelt conversation with Travis and Mark Macy about their inspiring father-son journey of perseverance in the face of immense hardship. Both lifelong athletes, they refused to let Mark's Alzheimer's diagnosis hinder their passion for endurance competitions. In 2019, they made the courageous decision to participate in the World's Toughest Race—a grueling seven-day, 400-mile marathon involving trekking, climbing, biking, and paddling through the jungle—for one final race together.

In this episode, we chat with adventure coach Michele Dillon and one of her clients, Clair Jones Wilson, about how runners get through loss of motivation, finding joy in running, and their favorite tunes from their running playlists!

Mickey Wilson is a 4-time world champion pro slackliner who used his skills to save a life on a chairlift at Colorado’s Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. Will Carr makes his hosting debut alongside co-host Russ Rizzo to discuss slacklining/trick-lining/high-lining and hear his harrowing tale of heroism.

Two legends of the Boulder rock climbing community—Greg German and Steve “Crusher” Bartlett—join c0-hosts Russ Rizzo and Will Carr to discuss their love of climbing and what they’re doing to preserve some of America’s best rock climbing areas for generations to come.

In this very special bonus episode of Dispatch Radio, we're sharing a recording of a virtual variety show hosted on the Fireside app. You’ll hear some comedy, spoken word, and some freestyle rap at the end.

David is a super nerd/expert on all things sports science and a fellow podcaster to boot; all this to say David knows his stuff. In this episode, we discuss covid's impact on athletes, mindfulness, the importance of inclusivity and community in the outdoor community, and much more.

Dispatch Radio is back, in a new, virtual, and LIVE format! In this episode, Zoe Rome, ultrarunning, backcountry skiing, rock scrambling, FKT-setting journalist, and podcast host, talks about the interplay of outdoor pursuit, failure(how fun!), and creativity. She's joined by special guests Peter Downing, Quinn Brett, Joshua Stevens, and more!

We headed down to Manic Training in Highlands Ranch with a world champion Tough Mudder - Kris Mendoza - for a community workout and discussion with Kris and a crowd of inspiring athletes. You’ll get to know gym owner Pete Beuth and several of the regulars at Manic Training, as we discuss everything from training for a Spartan Race to bowhunting and long-distance paddle-boarding.
