I was humble when I was able to sit down with Cam Mayfield for a little bit and discuss her journey through endurance events. It’s been an amazing journey for her. Completing Western States (@wser) a twice and bettering her time by over an hour isn’t easy. But she managed to not only do this, but also run a fast race at the Olympic trials this year.

I sat down and chatted with Michael “Gagz” about his recent run around the city of Philadelphia. He has named this run the Philly Four Corners. To say he loves the city is an understatement.

Thank you for sharing your journey with me Ga...

It’s always a joy to chat with Cody and catch up. Ever since I chatted with him years ago after his win at IRONMAN© Mont Tremblant, I have been a huge fan of how transparent, polite, and respected he is by the community of endurance athletes. This is a fun conversation, we talk about motivation, anxiety, and what it was like to race the last race on earth, Campeche 70.3. Thanks Cody for the chat.

Going into the 2019 Marine Corps Marathon, Brittany Charboneau was primed and ready to break the almost 20-year course record set back in 1990. She felt like nothing could rattle her after she had her best training season yet thanks to incorporating weekly creative themes, art and trail running. A little rain can't ruin a parade, but a lot of rain can certainly have an effect on attempting a course record. This year's race was an e...

Now on to the race. From Chemical burns in the pool to an ever lasting “home stretch” to the lucky egg, the swim is nothing to joke about. She is thankful to have friends at debour wetsuits for helping her with a wetsuit. After so long in the pool, she began to get cold. One nap and 53 hours later she was done with the swim and her T1 Time was nearly 12 hours!!! She said she ...
