Andy’s out running 100 miles, so Dom brings in Rachel Entrekin to co-pilot this month’s episode. Together they spiral through a truly unhinged game of “Would You Rather,” debating if espresso + Benadryl is a performance enhancer, and why 13,200 Bottles of Beer on the Wall might be the ultimate race soundtrack. Then Jimmy Elam drops by to talk about popping his 200-mile cherry at the Mammoth, haunted belt buckles, and his strategies for mid-run pee breaks. Along the way, we cover mystery pacers, bad juju, and the eternal question: is this all training, or just a really weird kink?

Take our listener survey!

Dom and Andy are back with a mind-bending, occasionally stomach-turning episode of Between Two Pines. Dom recounts his very pukey Angeles Crest 100 experience (complete with landscape-mode vomit footage), while Andy reflects on the etiquette of awkward road-path drafting and the fine legal distinctions of fart assault.

Then, the guys welcome ultrarunning phenom Rachel Entrekin, fresh off her 18-race winning streak and course-record run at Cocodona 250. Rachel talks training secrets, fueling mishaps, PT superpowers, and why running might just be her way of filling the void. Along the way, the conversation veers into Yelp reviews of trail poops, the Hunter S. Thompson 50-miler, racing turtles (vs. bears), and whether Rachel might one day join the French contingent at Hardrock.

The Boys are back, and going head to head with Joe Corcione of the Everyday Ultra podcast in an audio Thunderdome to the death.

Dom and Andy do something they’ve never done before, rip open the listener mailbag and read your letters live on air. From a runner overcoming cancer to toe-losing ultra veterans, to one very mysterious “K. Scheid” who may or may not be transforming into a goat, it’s all here.

Then, they dive into a meta-analysis of the Western States live coverage, breaking down what worked, what didn’t, and why Corinne Malcolm might be the MVP of endurance sports commentary.
