Do Big Things#95 WINNER of the 2021 LEADVILLE 100 // Adrian MacdonaldA couple of weeks ago, we were out at the Leadville 100, pacing and crewing. I was at the Twin Lakes aid station when I saw Adrian Macdonald coming through in first place, making it look as easy as a Sunday stroll. I knew I had to talk to him. When I found out he lives in Fort Collins, I wanted to talk to him even more. That’s just down the road from me. You see, this was Adrian’s first Leadville and first hundred miler altogether. And he won! Convincingly! In fact, only 4 people have ever run that course fast...

It’s a tough, tough course but we made it. We did it with each other. Maybe my guy Drew Ralston could have done it himself without a pacer but we chose to partner up to better his chances at getting him into the finish. I had a blast chasing him around the mountains for a lot of hours. Drew is about as tough as they come and we’re lucky to have him on the show...

He has been trying to get into Hardrock 100 for about ten years now. Anyone who has entered the Hardrock lottery before, knows how difficult it can be. Not to mention running year after year of qualifiers just for the chance that you might be picked one year. Well this year...

2021-07-082h 16Do Big Things#88 BREAKING WORLD RECORDS at 73 Years Young, Gene "Ultrageezer" DykesI’ve got a very inspirational guest for you guys this week. Gene “the ultrageezer” Dykes is 73 years old and he is outworking probably almost all of us. He runs any and every race, ranging from 1 mile to 200 miles. He most recently broke the world record in his age group for the 50 kilometer distance, running it in 3:56. He’s completed the triple crown of 200s, which is three 200 mile races in three months. He was once voted #3 on the list of the 50 fittest over 50 years old, beating out Schwarzenegger and Stallone. What? C’mon. Gene has a lot of wisdom in the way...

Paul Maurer is a runner and an author and he recently published a fantastic novel called The Unforgiving Line. I read the book and I really enjoyed it. It’s well written and I love the way the author spins the tale. Paul has written several books, some about running and others not so much. This book, tells the story of an older man who was once an elite runner but at the critical moment, blew it and harbors a lot of resentment about that period of h...

Her name is Laura Kaplan and to anyone who was at the Cocodona 250 this year, she was the one who was affectionately known as the nosebleed girl! Yes, she was the one you may have seen pictures of. Bloody nose, toilet paper stuffed in her nose and STILL MOVING FORWARD. She completed Cocodona and just a few weeks later, ran another hundred miler. I think she recovers like we all wish we did. She’s a ball of fire and she’s putting on lots of miles every week around...

I’ve got a great guest for you guys this week and I was really looking forward to sitting down and getting to know him. His name is Taylor Spike. He’s an ultrarunner and he most recently finished the Cocodona 250! I enjoyed talking to this guy because to me, he’s relatable. He isn’t a professional athlete with tons of support and sponsorships.

2021-05-281h 05Do Big Things#81 BEYOND FATIGUE with Sean Van HornAs many of you know, May is mental health awareness month. I’ve done a couple of episodes on this topic this month and I wanted to squeak one more in. My guest today, Sean Van Horn is a fellow struggler. And I say that with the most reverence and affection I can. He’s an outstanding athlete. He came up in the cycling world and eventually got into ultrarunning and skiing. He’s an all around mountain endurance guy. Last year he completed Nolan’s 14, which for me is pretty much the pinnacle. Even though he’s a great athlete, he strugg...

2021-05-131h 13Do Big Things#78 WORLD RECORD holder Taggart VanEtten!I’ve got an outstanding guest for you guys today. He is fairly new on the ultramarathon scene but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been at it for a while. I once heard someone say, it takes 10 years to be an overnight success and that definitely applies to our guest today. This man’s name is Taggart VanEtten and he just broke the WORLD RECORD for running the fastest 100 mile run on a treadmill! He did it in 11 hours and 32 minutes. That comes out to about 6:55 / mile. FOR A HUNDRED MILES! I’m so pumped to have Taggart on the sho...
2021-05-111h 15Do Big Things#77 Bipolar Disorder is Collin Morris's Superpower!You know why I love Collin Morris? Because he called me up and said “I just started running 6 months ago and I’m signed up for Leadville 100”. That was all I needed to hear. I liked him. I was in. He was looking for a coach and to be honest, I let him know, listen man, that’s a tall order. I don’t think it’s impossible, but it’s a tall order. Since then, he has been doing everything I throw at him and he is doing great and on his way to the big one, the Leadville 100...

As some of you may know, the month of May is Mental Health Awareness month. Did you know that 1 in 5 people in the US struggle with some form of mental illness? That’s 51 million people! This last year, with the pandem...
2021-05-042h 26Do Big Things#75 Remembering Logan PolfussThank you for tuning in to another episode of the DO BIG THINGS podcast. This installment is a solo episode where I remember my good buddy Logan Polfuss. Anyone who knew Logan probably has a lot of Logan stories and these are a few of mine. He was a young man that had the craziest and most adventurous spirit of anyone we knew. Logan tragically died in a skydiving accident on October 18, 2018. I want a few of these stories to be remembered because he was such a special kid. Logan was loved by everyone he touched. We will never forget him.

2021-04-272h 22Do Big Things#74 From Elite to Rock Bottom and Back Up Again with Richard DoddI’ve got a great guest for you guys today with SUCH an inspirational story. When you think of someone who is homeless and alcoholic, would you think that that person could be a sub 2:20 marathoner? It doesn’t seem to fit, right? It seems like two completely different worlds. My guest today, Richard Dodd ran a whole mess of marathons in the 80’s alongside his twin brother. Both of them were blazing fast. They were winning marathons, qualifying for and running Boston every year and Richard eventually went on to coach high school cross country and track. He even won Co...

He’s out there DOING BIG THINGS and helping others find balance, longevity and strength in whatever sport they are into.

By big mountain, I mean he is a 7 summit hopeful. He’s done 6 of the 7, leaving the best for last. Mount Everest.

He’s a super stud adventure athlete that gets outside all the time and is super fit and healthy. I guess that’s what makes his story so incredibly mind blowing. On January 6th of this year, he entered an easy little ski mountaineering race. At least it was easy by his standards. He jumped into the race, last minute and ten minutes into the race, he had a cardiac arrest. Erik Sanders was without a pulse for 40 minutes before he was brought...

Michael McKnight is an ultrarunner and an elite one at that. He has won the triple crown of 200 milers twice. He is really into the low carb, high fat diet and it’s an extremely effective strategy he employs towards his ultramarathons. I had a lot of questions about his diet and how and why he got into it.

I had so many questions for him. How does someone who is completely blind compete in a triathlon? Well, Kyle is the man to talk to. He’s completed marathons, Ironmans, the RAAM (The Race across America) and many others.
While he isn’t the first blind person to climb a mountain, run a marathon or compete in a triathlon, his goal is to be one of the best and ensure he isn’t the la...

He's done some of the biggest and baddest races on planet earth and he isn't slowing down. In fact, he's flying high! I distinctly remember when he came onto the ultrarunning scene. He said he was going to do all of these audacious things in the years to come and one by one, he did them all. He’s not just your run of the mill ultrarunner either. He thinks outside the box and that’s what I love about him. Give it up for my man Avery Collins.

Yes, Abby had a UFO encounter while she was out on her JMT...
2020-12-151h 55Do Big Things#54 Celebrating DFL with Jon BeardIt's better to be DFL at an ultramarathon than not finishing at all. After all, it's not about what place you come in when you're running a hundred mile race. It's about FINISHING! This week we are celebrating the folks who are out on the course longer than anyone. The folks who are fighting cutoff times every step of the way. The folks who aren't afraid to come in last place. Last place is still a finish and I respect it as much or maybe more than the winners. My guest today, Jon Beard, has finished DFL a couple of times...
