Episode 9 - MMTR Race Directors - The Present and Future of the Mountain Masochist
In this last of 4 episodes exploring the Mountain Masochist Trail Races, I sit down with the current race directors - Tim Spaulding, Jordan Cooter, and Brenton Swyers - and find out a little more about who they are, why they have taken on this challenging race to direct, and their mission for the present and future of this event. I think you'll agree that the race is in great hands and I look forward to seeing this group continue to foster both the old school history of this race as well as the needed adaptations to keep things growing and relevant here in 2025. Enjoy!

Episode 7 - Alisa Springman - Going for Mountain Masochist #20
From a chance co-worker telling her about this thing called ultrarunning, to now preparing for her 20th consecutive finish at the Mountain Masochist 50-miler, Alisa Springman has a lot of deep content in between. From an very impressive ultrasignup resume to race directing to being a board member of the VHTRC, Alisa is the type of person who really defines the best of ultrarunning and what has kept this sport so great over the twenty plus years she has been a consistent participant.Join us for my second in a series about Mountain Masochist with someone who has a lot to say about this race and the community surrounding it. This interview overperforms! Enjoy!

Episode 6 - Tom Green - The 1983 Mountain Masochist
It's 1983. "Land Down Under" by Men at Work is at the top of the Billboard charts and Ronald Reagan was in his first term as President. If you were a runner, you ran on roads. But if you were Tom Green, you somehow found a paper application for this race called "The Mountain Masochist" and mailed it with a check to a man named David Horton. And the rest, is history.Tom Green is a legend, and the Mountain Masochist trail run is legendary. I'm going to spend a few podcasts talking all about Mountain Masochist and its unique history in American ultrarunning and could think of no better way than to get a picture of what it was like to sign up for the very first one. Who better to ask about this year than Tom Green!So lace up your Nike Waffle Racers, don't worry about water bottles because nobody carried those, and join us for a really fun conversation about ultrarunning 42 years ago.

Episode 4 - Kristen Chang: Fueling on the run
Should I really eat before a training run? (Who wants to eat at 5am?!) How can I not have a gut blow up at Promise Land? Does Jordan Chang drink water or sports drink? This episode welcomes Kristen Chang, MS, RDN, CSSD to provide some guidance in the overwhelming space of sports nutrition in ultrarunning. Whether you're training for your first 50k or are wondering why you're still messing up your nutrition after a decade plus of ultrarunning, I hope you'll find some gems in here, or at the least a little Van Halen to keep you fired up!
