2 Quick Things
Greetings, my friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with food and good times with those you love. I was told that the calories don’t count on holidays, so we’ll just go with that and not worry about all the food we ate!
Things have been busy so on this week’s newsletter I just wanted to share a couple of quick things with you.
First, I mentioned that I was a guest on another podcast a few weeks ago. It’s been released and I think you’ll really enjoy it. It’s the RunTriMonk podcast with Lauren Callahan. We had a great time talking about mindset and gratitude. Lauren shares about making a conscious change in her mindset from, “How will I get all of this done?” to “I have the time to do this, I just need to figure it out.” (my paraphrase) Good stuff!
Here’s the episode description and link below:
Second, check out the latest Run the Riot Podcast. I talked with an athlete I coach, Chad Hetrick about his phenomenal performance at this year’s Arkansas Traveller 100. Chad is a husband, father, and works full time, but puts the work in to do his best at Ultrarunning. He placed second at Traveller with a smoking time of 16:52:50. We have a great conversation about training, life, and how the race unfolded. You can listen here.
Lots of ultrarunning nuggets in these podcasts!
That’s all for this week! We’ll get back to our regularly scheduled programming next week!
On the journey,
David

Run the Riot
Hey friends, Let’s be real for a minute—running outside in the heat, wind, or rain makes you tougher. The unpredictability of the elements sharpens both your body and your mindset. There’s no climate control. No “pause” button. You learn to adapt. You build grit. But let’s not act like the treadmill’s soft. There’s a different kind of strength required when you're staring at the same wall or window for miles. No breeze, no change of scenery—just the hum of the belt and your own voice...
Hey friends! I wanted to take a moment to share something I’m incredibly grateful for… This week, I found out that Run the Riot Podcast was listed #5 on Feedspot’s 30 Best Ultra Running Podcasts! How cool is that?? You can check out the full list here: 30 Best Ultra Running Podcasts I never started the podcast for recognition—I started it because I love this community and I’m fascinated by the stories behind the miles. That this little podcast has grown and connected with so many runners is...
You Weren’t Meant to Run Alone Hey Reader, This past weekend, something special happened at the Prairie Spirit 100. I was out there testing out my knee and pushing through another 100-mile race. I'll probably speak to that more in a future podcast. I had some observations as I watched others around me. Photo by Mile 90 Photography Sure, there were some strong runners. Some big, crazy, buckle-worthy efforts. Records broken. And plenty of grit on display. But what stood out most to me wasn’t...
