Let's learn together about not only running but life. Let's be better at being human. We'll talk all subjects with all types of folks.
As Thomas Brown & I attempt to complete the Grand Slam at the Wasatch 100 in Slat Lake City, UT, we discuss the race & the websites Top 10 Reasons to DNF the race - found at the bottom of this page - https://wasatch100.com/about/
We'll be racing on Sept. 8th.
Best of luck to all the Grand Slammers & runners!

Peter Defty is the owner of Vespa. He is a wealth of knowledge. Luckily he is very generous in sharing what he's learned and what he knows with people like me. Peter changed my world in the Badger 100-mile Race. I had no stomach issues and no need to cram lots of extra calories into my system thanks in part to the use of Vespa Ultra Concentrate (https://vespapower.com/product/vespa-ultra-concentrate-12-pack/). It's not just the use of Vespa, as we discuss in this podcast, but the wholistic approach to a healthy digestive system. There's a lot to this episode, so get ready to take some notes! And thank you again to Peter for coming on and sharing so much information!

Western States was an amazing experience and probably one that will go down as one of my most proudest moments as I struggled mightily in this event! This episode is pretty raw. I'm still emotional from the finish and all the joys it brought, and you'll hear me speak my truths about this event. Thank you for being a part of my journey!

Andrew Bednarzik, Mental Performance Coach, Licensed Therapist, & Professor and I discuss negative self-talk and strategies to help reduce it and get through it when it happens. I also answer two listener questions about converting road paces to trail paces, as well as how long should your average run be. Lastly, I talk about my pivot from the cancelled Rim Runner 50-miler to the Bootlegger 50-miler since the course and strategies are pretty different. I hope you enjoy the Episode!

In this episode, Patrick Reagan and I discuss so much for the year ahead. From training to recovering to the mental aspects needed to go through the Grand Slam (or running in general). Grab a pen and paper and get ready to take some notes. Lots of takeaways form this one for any runner! Thank you Patrick!

That escalated quickly! I'm trying to make it possible to go for the Grand Slam of Ultra Running! With my registration for Western States already complete, I decided to try to make the rest of the races in the Grand Slam a reality. In doing so, I've secured a charity spot raising funds for the Vermont Adaptive (http://www.vermontadaptive.org/about-us/). I'm in the process of trying to gain a charity spot for Leadville 100 by raising funds for The Challenged Athletes Foundation (https://www.challengedathletes.org/mission-and-history/). I've registered for the Old Dominion 100 as a possibility if things fall through for Leadville.
I'd like to thank all that donated to Vermont Adaptive to help me reach my fundraising goal, but it's not done. I'd like to continue to raise funds for them!
Please consider donating to The Vermont Adaptive through my fundraising page - https://www.pledgereg.com/357957
Thanks to the following for their donations:
Mike, Andrew, Brendon, Nathan Rafaela, Terra, Chris & Paula, Blanche, Nancy, Moe & Mercedes, Trish, & Tammy. Thank you!
As soon as I have the Challenged Athlete Foundation spot confirmed, I will set up the fundraising page and share that information!

Not only is Jesse Fuller an experienced ultra runner, he is outstanding at what he does. Through his screening, Jesse will recognize where we lack strength and mobility and prescribe a regiment that will help us either return to running or keep us running healthy and strong. Let me be clear, Jesse does not diagnose injury, just help us return from an injury that has already been predetermined by a medical professional. Learn more in this episode.

I have the upmost respect for those that can listen to their body in training and with that ability, finish ultras consistently! That's the case for Michael Poole, who has been running 100-mile races since 2008! Michael has some great stories and lesson to share! Have a listen...

This is the 2nd time I've had Ben on the podcast, and the third time I've had his wife Allison on. They are both amazing people doing awesome things. The reason this episode came to light was because we didn't think Ben was going to line up less than 2 weeks from the start of the race. This is the story of how that came to be and how Ben found the finish line through all of it!

The long run is one of keys to your training for your goal event. It often simulates best what the goal event will actually be like. We should take notes and analyze these runs to help us succeed in future long runs and especially our goal event!

With Bigfoot 200 a few days away at the time of this recording, I figured it a good time to talk through how I put together my nutrition & hydration plan to know what to buy & estimate how much to purchase. I speak about how often and how much I plan to eat and drink based off current research, a breakdown of the different options I intend to use, and the gear I'll use in hopes of reaching the finish line at Bigfoot 200.

Phil Latter wears many hats (very well I may add). The book he co-authored, Running Flow, displays his passion for running, life, and helping others. One experience with flow in Phil's College Running career changed his life and sent him down a path to help others find flow. In this episode he tries to help us understand how we can find the flow state. Thank you Phil!

Martin Schneekloth has completed over 150 ultras. The likes of which we talk about in this episode focus on The Moab 240, Tahoe 200, & The Bob Graham Round. It's the later that we will focus our conversation on. The Bob Graham Round has a history and lore unlike anything we have here in the US. I loved hearing Martin's telling of his Round. I hope you enjoy!

The supplement business is making lots of money on us. Should they be? Are there any supllements that can make us better runners. It's through this conversation that I hope to answer these questions and more about supplements.
Resources:
Sweat Rate Test -
Urinate
Weigh yourself without clothes and note weight.
Run for 1 hour at goal race pace.
Note how many fluid ounces you drink during the run.
Dry off after running.
Weigh yourself again without close and note weight.
Convert pre-run and post-run weight to ounces.
Subtract post-run weight from pre-run and add back any fluid ounces drank during the run. The answer is the amount of fluid loss you had during exercise and what needs to be replaced (keeping in mind you can only comfortably drink 20-30 ounces of fluids per hour). If there is an a fluid loss higher than what can be replaced during the hour, that amount must be drank post run to rehydrate.

Allison Mercer is an amazing woman as you'll hear in this podcast, not only did she earn a Gold Shirt by running Sub-5 Hours (4:56:32), becoming only the 3rd woman to do so, but she discusses a well deserved change in our sport. We talked more about things she is passionate about than her actual race, and for this, I came away with some new thoughts and ideas. I hope you will as well!

Sure Travis Macy wrote the book "The Ultra Mindset", but he is so much more! I loved the energy Travis brought to the conversation. His exuberance can be found in whatever he does. His list of athletic accomplishments range across a variety of sports and I could not begin to do him justice in listing those here. His love for his family and care for his father really struck a chord with me. I strive to be what Travis embodies, and that is a loving father, son, athlete, and everything else he does with the conviction and passion that is driven by his love for life and others! Thank you for this conversation Travis! It meant more to me than I can express!

We all know we need more diversity and inclusion in our sport, but with conversation & action we'll not gain much ground. John Lacroix is trying to implore us to action. John is a race director for the Human Potential Race Series in Colorado, Arkansas, & Texas. We go in depth as to why races MUST be inclusive to ALL genders and races. I hope this sparks others to start conversations with other race directors!

Mercedes Siegle-Gaither surprised many people at Lake Sonoma 50-miler. Many people except me. I've had the pleasure of coaching Mercedes and have seen her progress up to her race at Lake Sonoma! I couldn't wait to see how she did. It was amazing, and I can't wait to share her story. My apologies for the technical difficulties once again. I've canceled that recording platform and switched to a more stable platform.

Join me for my thoughts on running by perceived exertion. How do I define each effort, what these efforts should feel like, workouts in these different efforts, & reasons for using RPE.
Example of an In & Out Workout for Marathoners:
15-20 minute warmup jog (4-5 RPE)
4 x :20 flat strides @ 9 RPE 1:10 jog recovery @ 4 RPE
5 x 1/2 mile @ 7-8 RPE straight into 3/4 Mile @ 6-7 RPE (repeat)
10-15 minute cool down
7-8 would be 1/2 Marathon Goal Pace
6-7 would be goal marathon pace
RPE Scale:
1-2 Easy walking
3 Power/Brisk Walking
4 Recovery/Easy Jog
5-6 Conversational Pace Running
7-8 Tempo/Lactate Threshold
9 5k Race Pace
10 All Out

Erick Martinez is a 26 years old who is relatively new to running (2018). Listen to the happiness in his voice! It's infectious. His joy for the sport is something we should all aspire to find. He took that joy and won the South Mountain 50k by taking the lead at half way point pushing and looking to find that point in which the effort would require him to push through the pain and cause him to truly suffer. Could he, did he find that breaking point? Here's not only that story, but his story. I hope you enjoy!

Bart Smith is an amazing 75 year old whom I hope I can emulate. Our conversation is one that gives true insight into being a lifelong athlete. Bart has so many experiences in endurance sports and shares so much wisdom in this conversation we couldn't get to everything and we promised one another to record another episode to dive deeper into some of the topics we just brushed over! We hope you enjoy and come away with some new ideas or reminders of things you can work on!

Julie Jordan is an amazing woman! Mom, wife, school teacher, and runner. She had never completed a 100-miler before, but lined up for the Yeti 100-miler in Damascus, VA to make the attempt. Julie was wonderful in sharing her journey leading up to and including the event. We go through how she prepared herself, her crew, and her pacers. We talk about mistakes and other issues and how they were remedied and how she hopes to be better prepared for future events. I hope you take away a ton from this episode, especially if you're looking to do your 1st 100-miler! Thank you Julie once again!

Frank Giannino attempted to run the fastest time across the US in 1979. He finished, but didn't break the record. So, he went after it again in 1980. This interview means a ton to me as I grew up buying my shoes from Frank when I started running in 1990. To have such a great running idol in my home town definitely shaped not only my running, but my life!
Frank can be reached at frankg@shoe-fitter.com
His shoes website is https://shoe-fitter.com/author/frank9090/
If you'd like to learn more about Frank, Kevin Gleason's book "46 Days" can be purchased online on amazon

I need to expound for a moment on the road ahead...
In 2020, not much has gone to plan or followed the script I had laid out as many of us have found! But here’s part update, and part what I feel in my heart...
Tomorrow I had planned to chase the FKT (Fastest Known Time) on our local 30-mile Art Loeb trail surrounded by friends and family. As my body had other plans (hip & calf injuries), I’ll be postponing those plans to a later date to be determined (maybe spur of the moment so I can surprise my body).
In a time where running has been a welcome relief to everything around me, I thought I would be more frustrated, but I find myself enjoying the moment with my kids, my wife, my friends, and living vicariously through the athletes I coach. I’m looking long term and realizing a break right now isn’t a bad thing, and coming back with a solid base will only make my plans for the Fall that much better.
Is the glass half full or half empty? I don’t know and I honestly don’t care! I’m going to drink whatever is in it, refill the glass, drink that, fill it up half way again, pass it to the next fellow that comes along and put my next foot forward into whatever the future holds!
For those that don’t know and for those that have read this far, life has had some big changes for me. I’m no longer an owner or employee of Foot Rx Running. I felt for the business to survive it could only have one salaried owner/operator, so I signed my portion over to one of the best friends a guy could have in Scott Socha.
After that, I analyzed what was causing stress and what was adding fulfillment and enjoyment to my life. I decided race directing was too much for me and coaching was giving me so much joy, so I’ve resigned from Race Directing (for now) & have become a full-time coach. I have just over 50 adults I coach right now training for distances of 5K to ultramarathon and I’m truly happy!!!
It’s tough in this time frame to imagine training for running as race after race is cancelled or postponed. I think those that truly love running (like myself) haven’t skipped a beat. Those that train for the extrinsic reward of the race have really had to refocus on their why and make sure it was ok to train. And yet others have found reward in their own persuit of fast times and PR’s at distances that they haven’t run in years. It’s amazing to not only see the physical transformation of these individuals, but to witness their mental growth and comprehension of what drives them to be not only a runner but what makes them human.
In my own reflection of running, I find myself entranced by the primal and instinctive nature of the physical activity. There are no parameters when you go out for a run. You can run fast or slow. Short distance or long. It doesn’t matter if you turn left or right or simply turn around and go home. It’s simple in a world of complexities.
I don’t know if anyone else finds this truth evident, but when I do go to a race and I line up, I don’t see race, gender, or ethnicity. I see humans of a kindred spirit. If someone is down or hurt, there’s no thought as to should I help, it’s how can I help. I’ve tried to make this transition to daily life and my daily interactions with everyone. It’s not easy, to love everyone and be non judgmental. But I’m trying!
I’ll continue to do my small part and I’ll even say this first...I love you! No need to say it back, I just hope it makes you think about your daily interactions and makes you feel something, if only for a moment it gives you pause and a moment to reflect.
I’m here for you if you need an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, arms to hug, a back to work, and two legs (hopefully soon) to run with!!!
I’ll say it one more time, and I mean it... I LOVE YOU!!!
I need to let that out! Thanks
-Aaron Saft
Thank you Jake for shedding light on these topics. Many of my athletes have so many questions about these two topics. I hope we shared some useful information. We tried to leave opinions out of this conversation and just talk facts. We understand you may have your opinions on these topics, but again, we're talking facts based on the research of science. If you have questions for Jake, you can email him at edmistonrdn@gmail.com

Hi all,
This was an emotional episode! I'm going to include my letter to myself below. I hope you'll accept my challenge in this episode and write a letter to your future self as well and if you will, share it with me!
Here's my letter:
May 4, 2020
To Future Me,
As it stands, we’re at a crossroads. Life has changed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We’ll most likely lose our business that we’ve built over the passed 13 years. Ha! Almost have to laugh. Just realized this would be our thirteenth anniversary. Fitting to perhaps see it go on such an anniversary. But that’s us isn’t it? We take a chance, work hard, roll with the punches, and see what happens. That’s running in a nutshell isn’t it? Running is a great metaphor for life, work, family, and relationships.
As I write this, we’re celebrating thirty years of running. God knows how many miles we have on our legs! We’ve celebrated victories, taken running to many levels, and followed our dreams. We’ve been to some amazing places and met people I hope we never forget! All while never taking performance enhancing drugs or cheating the system, the course, our sport, or ourself. I hope as you read this that still holds true!
We’ve got two amazing kids and the best wife that share this journey. We’ve tried to be an example of endurance, hard work, philanthropy, and love. I see our kids’ potential. I hope we bring it out in them and help them along their path to finding their happiness in life! I hope we continue to love every living being and do our best to make a difference in our community locally, nationally, and globally.
We’ve helped to create a number of things that have such far reaching impact. May we continue to learn, innovate, and evolve new and old ideas in the hopes that we create happiness and joy for others. I hope we continue to forge new relationships with others and collaborate in making new events, groups, trails, and ideas that are conceived with the love in our hearts and the purpose of spreading joy and happiness to ALL!
We wear our heart on our sleeve. We don’t hold back our emotions or our passion. We tell people we love them, and we mean it! May nothing ever perverse this! The world has always been jaded in some ways, but love shall always triumph! May we keep the burning passion for life, for its experiences, and adventures. For it’s the adventures that keep us young. What’s next? What goal has excited us? That’s what we live for! I hope we keep pushing, keep exploring our boundaries and our potential.
Aaron, we found ourself a long time ago! When I look in the mirror, I can look myself in the eye. Remain open, honest, trustworthy, and compassionate. Continue to work on your patience, listening to others, and asking for help. We’re not perfect, we’ll never be! However, we can always strive to be better and love deeper. We’ve found our passion in life. We know what makes us happy! Follow your heart. It hasn’t misled us yet!
Pride has hampered us in the past. Don’t let it cloud your judgement or inhibit your decisions!
Let’s continue to express our gratitude to the world. Find grace in every action and give thanks for every experience. The positive and the negative as we can learn from each. Never stop learning. Keep engaging your mind. You have to keep up with your wife and kids somehow!
That said, smile and laugh at yourself. Don’t take yourself too seriously. You’re a small fish in the large open ocean. Stay humble and remember you’re here to serve others.
May we speak out when we see others wronged. Remember what it was like when we were wronged, and no one stood up for us! As an individual, we may be weak, but as a collective group, together our voices are so much stronger! Stand united with your brothers and sisters for what is right and what is just!
We’ve made mistakes, we’ll make more. It’s whether we continue to learn from those mistakes and not make them over again. We’ve asked for forgiveness and we forgive. May our heart stay open and continue to see and bring the best out of people.
Life is beautiful. Continue to take a moment of each day to appreciate your opportunity, then go out there and make the best of it!
Remember the statement, “Own your dash!”? We’ll have two dates on our gravestone. Those aren’t truly important. That dash mark in between is the key. What did we do in between those two dates? Did we live? Did we make a difference? Keep moving forward Aaron! Own that dash!!!
Love. Love all without thought, judgement, or prejudice.
Peace. Find peace without fear, negligence, or pompousness.
Endure.
So, the final question, did you stay true to yourself? Can you read back through these and say, “Yes Aaron! I did!”
I hope so…
I love you!
-Me

I also dive into things that keep us from running like injuries, illness, & travel.I talk about how to come back and adjust goals for racing and knowing who to see/talk to when you are injured.
Thanks again for listening!
I had nothing but time on my hands as I drove home alone form racing the Caumsett 50k in Long Island, NY. It gave me to to reflect on what had just transpired. I go pretty deep (and get pretty emotional) in this episode. I talk about DNF'ing and when it's ok. How not to DNF. How to train to not let your mental strength wain and lead you to a DNF. I hope you enjoy!
I sit down with my old High School Coach, Martin Harnick to have a post race chat. I love this man! He is part of my family! He mentored me and helped me find myself through running. I was so grateful for this opportunity.
I recorded this episode while driving to NY to compete at the 50k National Road Championships. I give my thoughts on my training and preparations and get into some of the deeper details and opinions I have on the state of our sport.
Hello!
Welcome to the first episode and introduction to my new Podcast where we'll talk about all things running and how we can not only become better runners, but better people in this process we call life.
Thanks for joining me!
