#144 Just Finish the Line / Keith Hayes and Laura Kaplan
Keith Hayes and Laura Kaplan just completed the Nolan's 14 line. They've been obsessed with these 14 peaks all summer long and they put a lot of time and effort into scouting and completing the project. It took them 85 hours to complete the line which means they were out there (and awake) for the majority of three nights. They were up against some gnarly weather and the fact that they pushed on was pretty mind blowing to me. I absolutely loved talking with them, I hope you enjoy this conversations!

#139 3,600 MILE TRIATHLON! with Justin True
Can you imagine doing a triathlon that lasts for two months? Justin True recently completed the World's Longest Continuous Triathlon. That's roughly a 32 mile swim, 3,000 mile bike ride, capped off with a 600 mile run! Holy buckets! It doesn't even seem possible.

#123 WORLD'S LARGEST TRIATHLON with Justin True
My man, Justin True, has become the hero of his own story, in a very real way. After a traumatic and sometimes violent childhood, including a suicide attempt, he carved himself into a successful MMA fighter turned hybrid endurance athlete. He raises money for different charities and organizations by doing world record type events, including pulling a truck for a 26.2 mile marathon! He is currently training for the world’s largest triathlon where he’s going to swim 60 miles, bike 3,000 miles and then top it off with an easy 600 mile run! He’s hoping to complete it inside of a month. What a slacker :) You’re going to want to hear this one. DO BIG THINGS Justin!

#121 Overweight to Ultrarunner // Caleb Sherrill
Caleb Sherrill wasn’t always an ultrarunner. In fact, he used to be about twice the size he is now. Struggling with weight, anxiety and depression, Caleb decided it was time to take matters into his own hands. He is now an athlete for RODS (Racing for Orphans with Down Syndrome) and has a big year of racing on the calendar. Get inspired!

#114 From Thru-Hiker to Blood Rock 100 WINNER / Tara Dower
I’ve got another outstanding up and comer on this week’s show. Tara Dower aka Candy Mama has been thru-hiking some of the bigger trails for years now, including the AT as well as the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Eventually that led to some FKT’s and now she’s transitioning into ultramarathons. With a big win at Blood Rock 100 this year, second to the man himself, Jeff Browning, she has officially put her stamp on the world of trail running. Keep your eyes on this woman, she’s moving fast and she has big goals. DO BIG THINGS Tara!

#104 with MOAB 240 finisher Emily Keddie
I’ve got another dope podcast right here for you guys. Emily Keddie is someone I’ve wanted to have on the show for a while. I think I hit her up once and it fell through but I’m one of those guys that doesn’t stress when something falls through because maybe it just wasn’t meant to happen at that particular time. Well, Emily just completed the Moab 240 and I thought what a great time this would be to reach back out and see if we can make it happen. Luckily for all of us, it happened! Anyone who runs 240 miles is going to come away with some obscure stories of struggle and elation and Emily certainly doesn’t disappoint. She finished tenth place female and I absolutely loved this conversation and I think you guys are going to dig it too.
