The Next Aid Station

Ultra runner and DC Peaks 50 course record holder, Kilian Korth, joins us today to go in-depth on what happened during the Cocodona 250 this year that landed him in the ICU. We also talk about the difference in training for 100 and 200 milers, nutrition during a 250, strategies to run the 200+ mile ultra marathons and more!

Buffalo Run Race Director, Jim Skaggs, joins us this week to discuss this year's cancellation of the Antelope Island 100 miler due to weather, as well as his career in ultra running over the last couple decades. Jim is about to run his 100th ultra marathon this weekend! What a beast!

Today's guest John Frampton goes through his 10-year career that started at SolarCity and working his way to the CEO of Nivo Solar, a Texas-based solar company that did over $90M in its first year and is seeking $250M this year.

This week our friend and guest, Rhandi Orme, joins us to talk about her experience in this past Boston Marathon, what happened at the Leadville 100, and more! It's an episode all you runners won't want to miss!

Leading up to the Boston Marathon that takes place each year on Patriots Day, just a few days away from now, guest Mick Garrison and I talk about the Boston Marathon and what it means to each of us personally, and to our running careers. In 2016, just weeks before self-surrendering to prison, Mick and I ran the Boston Marathon together. During this dark time in my life the NXT AID STN Mentality was born as I used it to get me through those torturous months between pleading and prison (6 months). In 2018, my final aid station in prison was watching the Boston Marathon - just two days before being released back home to my family. The Boston Marathon will always have a special place in my heart.

Today we talk with the founder of SolarCon, Jake Hess, about the event he's hosting, the state of the solar industry, as well as digging into the trials that both of us have gone through in life. Jake went from an alcoholic that was struggling in life to creating a thriving consulting business as well as hosting one of the biggest events in the solar industry.

This week Jake discusses how important his ultra-running crew is during an ultra-marathon as well as his life crew that supports him during everything else. How can you apply this to your life and where can you find your life crew?

The NXT AID STN Podcast is about how to use the Next Aid Station Mentality to overcome life's challenges. Whether it's tough times in your life due to marital or relationship stress, substance abuse, or anything else this mentality will help you get through life one aid station at a time. This mentality stems from ultra marathons where each aid station is a respite where you can sit down, fuel up, and reset for the next 5-7 miles before you get to the next aid station. This mentality specifically has helped my family and I get through tough times especially when I went to federal prison in Colorado. The way that I could efficiently serve my time was by creating aid stations along the way that I just had to get to. We hope this podcast helps all of you listening with whatever you may be struggling with.
