Many ultra runners start training perfectly healthy with no past injury or issues to slow them down and some of us have to start while we are dealing with those issues. Deidra is managing a back injury she had fixed with surgery as she ramps up. It's almost always 2 steps forward and one step back with these types of issues so don't get discouraged if you are going through it. Thanks for listening.
Our first live race from Becoming Ultra is now taking registrations. Check it out here!

Cale Pearson was a runner for Season 11 of the Becoming Ultra project. One thing that has been so cool are the side projects and trickle down of the project. We have had books written about the project, podcasts started, friendships, and so much more. On this episode Cale brought some of his peers from the Freight brokering industry on his channel to talk about an upcoming team ultra at Desert Rats (where Cale ran his first ultra). We hope you enjoy.

Coach Addie and Scott get to know Denise on her first epsiode of Season 16. Denise has an amazing coming to running story that I think many will be able to relate to. Starting in roller rinks and moving to roller derby and Spartan races where a shoulder injury left her looking for something bigger. We think she is going to be an awesome follow for the next 6 months so stay tuned and share with someone who needs to hear that just because one door closes doesn't mean an epic one won't open!
