Zach Miller, Francesco Puppi, AND Rod Farvard?!?! Oh my this race is going to be exciting. Join me as I discuss the dynamics of the last Golden Ticket Race before Western States this year and dive into some of the backgrounds of each of the runners. I include my picks for top 5 for both races and also include some other racers who have a strong chance of making it top 5 as well. Feel free to comment and let me know who you have in your top 5 or anywhere you think I got it wrong. Enjoy!
Fun Fact: Basically every time I watch the Zach Miller documentary by Billy Yang on Youtube I end up in tears by the end.

There are four opportunities to get Fantasy Freetrail Points at four different races this weekend. Four races means Iām doubling up episodes, the first preview of which will be a double whammy of Madeira Islanda Ultra Trail (MIUT) 115k and the GTWS Great Wall Race in Chengde, China. Weāve got the return of one of the GOATs to the racing scene in Katie Schide at MIUT 115k and the chance for some new Kenyan runners to make a big splash at the second GTWS race of the year. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Had some jets takeoff near where I was recording around the 18 minute mark. I stop talking for a bit but if you skip ahead about a minute I go back to talking.

Another trail race is here and this time itās a US Trail Long Team qualifier for the Gorge 100k. The top 2 (Iām pretty sure) spots will automatically qualify for the long trail team for the US and will go on to race at the Trail World Championships in Spain later this year in September. I also included some short discussion on my picks for the Calamorro Skyrace which I wasnāt able to get a podcast out in time for unfortunately. Here is the link to my write up from my Big Alta 28k race weekend that I mentioned in the podcast. Enjoy!

Join me for a combined episode as I break down the Chianti 102k & Acantilados Del Notre race predictions, preview, and picks. We've got two of the all time GOATs of trailrunning (hopefully) lining up-Jim and Kilian. They will be joined by last yearās UTMB champion Vincent Bouillard and a host of other accomplished Ultrarunners for what should be an epic showdown. I also try to shine a light on the first race in one of my favorite series (with some of the most scenic courses in the world)-the skyrunning world series. For whatever reason (potentially diluted competition because of so many events) this series seems to get largely overlooked in the US. The Subhub does a good job of podcast previewing races but other than that the races donāt get much attention. Hopefully, I can help change that!

Join me for another episode of Let's Talk Trail Running to discuss the upcoming Transgrancanaria Classic and Marathon races. This episode has been split into two due to my technological shortcomings and accidental ending of the first recording when my girlfriend opened my studio (aka our closet) door to get clothes for her run. Part 1 discusses the TGC classic distance race while episode two focuses mostly on the marathon. Enjoy!
