John Medinger - A lesson in greatness and humility
John Medinger, widely recognized and known as Tropical John, is an amazing person of the ultra scene, that has a great story to tell. One can recognize him as a seasoned ultra runner, race founder, race director, Ultrarunning magazine publisher and contributor, and definitely the voice at the finish line of Western States Endurance Run 100 in Auburn.
We had the pleasure to spend a little under 2 hours in a fruitful discussion with John Medinger. We went through his story, which has a mass of content for the listeners. We started off with the John Medinger runner story, to depict, how he got in touch with the running disciplines. Anyhow, just the check his Ultra Signup profile to see, there is a track record of its own as well!
Through the debate, we covered the story of Western States Endurance Run 100 from various angles. From the lottery, via some remarkable runner stories at WSER such as Ann Trason, Scott Jurek and/or Jim Walmsley. We also touched Lake Sonoma 50, which was founder by John. Sure, we also covered some of his journey with the Ultrarunning magazine, where John Medinger acted as a publisher and still is active as a contributor.
As fresh as the talk was, there is one point we need to mention. Whichever topic we went through, we always got overwhelmed how modest and humble John was. It really took us some time to process the depth of the thoughts after we ended the session. We hope that you, dear listeners, will enjoy the talk as much as we did with Marian.
A side remark for the Slovak audience, there will also be a translated voiceover version out soon :-).

Katie Asmuth (Plus Dylan Bowman, Corrine Malcolm) | BYP 068
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Katie Asmuth, an emerging ultramarathoner from Southern California who turned many heads by finishing 5th at the 2021 Western States Endurance Run in a historic year for women. We talk through her running journey, how running plays a part in her life as a mom and nurse practitioner and much more.
I also had a conversation with Dylan Bowman and Corrine Malcolm, a few days removed from broadcasting the very first livestream for the 2021 Western States Endurance Run.

Episode 27 - Craig Thornley, Dr. Andy Pasternak, Diana Fitzpatrick, and Tim Twietmeyer
In this episode, we were joined by Western States Endurance Run race director Craig Thornley, race medical director Dr. Andy Pasternak, president of the board of directors Diana Fitzpatrick, and vice president of the board Tim Twietmeyer.
We were glad to welcome them back after first talking in early December to find out more about plans for the 2021 Western States race. Back in December, there was a great deal of uncertainty that made it difficult to decide how to plan for 2021. In this episode, they all offered helpful insight into the many facets of planning the race and keeping the runners safe.
We touched on all kinds of topics from a latest update on the pandemic and vaccine rollouts, contingency plans for accommodating international runners, qualifying race requirements and much more. We also heard an update on an exciting new race planned for late 2022 by the Western States organization. We'll certainly look forward to hearing more about that again soon!
Tune in to get all of the latest information and updates, and we'll all keep our fingers crossed for a successful race this June!
