Run The Riot Podcast

If you run trails around Arkansas, you probably know who Wesley Hunt is.  Wesley is a beast of a runner and an all-around great guy.  He’s run Arkansas Traveller 100 five times and won it 4 of those times - placing 2nd on his first outing.  Earlier this year, he won the LOViT 100 and plans to return to Traveller this year after a 5-year break.  I love his outlook on embracing the emotions that come out during a race.  We get into the mental aspect of running Ultras, competition, and training for longevity in the sport.  We also chat about his experience with Arkansas Traveller 100, Western States 100, LOViT 100, Leadville 100 and others.  You’ll definitely enjoy the many nuggets of wisdom he drops in casual conversation!Show notes here: http://www.theriot.net/wesley

Bryan Gillette started doing epic things at an early age. At 20 years old, he rode his bike across the US. Then he got into ultrarunning and after running other distances, completed the Tahoe 200.   He took his experience on the trail and then interviewed 100 leaders (CEOs, CXOs, CIOs, CHROs, CFOs, founders, and ultra-distance athletes) to see how they take really big ideas across the finish line. He then penned the book, EPIC Performance.It was great to visit with Bryan again after reading his book EPIC Performance. We not only talked about his book, but we caught up on the latest big things he and his family have done and have planned!Show notes: http://www.theriot.run/bryang2

I got to sit down in person again with Nick Fowler. Nick had finished the Self-Supported FKT on the Pacific Northwest Trail when we spoke last. Since then, he was able to get the Self-Supported Fastest Known Time on the Ozark Trail! He's dealt with ankle injuries, but is training up for a stab at the PCT Self-Supported FKT! It's been fun watching his journey and hearing how he's learned and grown as a runner, hiker, and person. You'll love his personality and crazy stories from the trail and in life!Show notes: http://www.theriot.run/nickfowler2
