Episode 131 Teaser: Rebecca Scott - The Rocky Raccoon 100, Being DFL, & Taking on the Speedgoat 50K
Rebecca Scott is a fighter! A quick scan of her UltraSignup will definitely show that she’s tough, with a podium finish in 12 of the 27 listed events, but what it won’t show you are the obstacles that she has had to overcome to get here. Because the truth is that life is not always fair, and adversity is not evenly distributed, but she is a glaring example that even in the face of overwhelming odds, we all have the power to persevere. And in her case, to share extra positivity with those around her. Her goal at every ultra is to bring a smile to someone in the race, Because, in her own words, “You have no idea what someone has struggled with, and if you can bring a little light to their d...

We are heading down to Florida for this one. The Long Haul 100 miler consists of 6, 16.7 mile loops and runners have 32 hours to complete the race. However, this race is also a Western States qualifier, so if you finish this race in under 30 hours, you also earn your ticket to the Western States lottery.

We all know that Ultras come in a variety of shapes and sizes. There is only one common denominator, an ultra, by definition is any race over 26.2 miles.

We first heard about this race from our good friend Michelle Goldberg who connected us with the race director and we are grateful to have runners in the com...

Aaron Stacy is a certified badass. And while he is probably likely to get mistaken for a muscle and fitness model vs a trail and ultra runner, there is no question that this guy is a monster on the course. But it wasn’t always that way. As a lifelong law enforcement officer, running was not part of the picture until 2016, when, following the loss of 50 lbs so that he could train with his daught...

Race Spotlight: Daytona 100
Просмотров 1752 месяца назад
The DAYTONA 100 is a point to point race that starts from Jacksonville Beach and goes south to Ponce Inlet, which is about 10 miles south of Daytona. The course is flat and is a solid choice for a first ultra or to set a PR. The race is run on pavement, so this is not a 100 miles of running on the sand down the coast. If you hear Florida and think, oh man, that is going to be real hot and humid...

Race Spotlight: Mamba 100
Просмотров 1393 месяца назад
For today's race spotlight, we are heading to Memphis, Tennessee to take a look at the Mamba 100. The race is run mostly on single track with minimal elevation gain, which should make for a relatively faster course for the 100 mile distance. The course is a looped course with each loop being 14.3 miles. For everyone doing trail math right now, that would be 7 loops for the 100 miler. To top it ...

Race Spotlight: Mogollon Monster 100
Thank you having this conversation. It was very helpful. I’m planning to this race this year. So excited!
Glad that you enjoyed the conversation with Noah. The race sounds awesome and we'd love to hear how it goes for you! Enjoy!
Great Spotlight!! I'd love to see a spotlight on the Summit 200 mile in Colorado, currently running its inaugural race! The whole race is run above 9,300 feet!
Thanks for the recommendation! We will check them out.
Just did a quick check! These RDs are great. We recently had a spotlight of one of their other races, the Cowboy 200. Casey and Chase Hammond are solid and will put on an awesome race.
Love the SSTR! Moved to Ancaster in 2020, have been running these trails since and have done the 20k the past two years. Planning on doing the 50k next year :). So happy to hear you guys covering it!
That's awesome! Enjoy the 50k! The race sounds incredible.
I ran the 20k, it was my first trail race. I had a blast! It definitely converted me to trail racing. I can't wait for next year!! See you at the finnish line!! 💪😎👍
That's awesome! Let's go!
This race is absolutely fantastic! I ran the 100 mile option for my first ever 100 and it was a beautiful experience. Love the RDs too! Top tier people right there!
@@JamesGoodrich7 we could not agree more. The RDs are awesome!
This podcast is phenomenal and I am so glad I found it. Pretty sure I binged every race spotlight episode this past week. Love how much passion comes out of the race directors when they get to talk about their events. Keep up the great work Jeff & Jeremy! 👊
Thank you! Glad you have enjoyed the spotlights! Did you happen to find a race from the spotlights that you want to add to your list to participate in?
@@TheUltraRunningGuys oh absolutely! Cocodona 250 is definitely a bucket list race for me. Also Umstead & Blackbeard's both sound like great events over here in NC
@@derekprieur5258 Awesome! we are in NC also, hopefully we will cross paths at a future race!
It was very muddy but still a great event! Finished my first 100 last year at this event.
That's awesome! Congratulations on that finish!!
@@TheUltraRunningGuys Thank you
Tremendous perspecive
Alabama boy here. This makes me want to do this race. Becky seems like a real gem, for sure and you can tell she loves what she does and really loves the racers. 👍
Absolutely! Becki is great and the race sounds awesome. Go for it!
#slushies (Apparently, we have to start thinking about how to up the bar this year.)
hahah! yes! Slushies during the hotter parts of a day are a top shelf option.
Love this race and these RD’s put on a great event. If you are 200 curious definitely check this one out! I finished in 2023 and will be there in 2024 as a volunteer.
When previous runners come back to volunteer, that is when you know it is a good one!
ruclips.net/video/sIYa3gh_g48/видео.htmlsi=QwuFZ_Znn8BjP9Hc
Fun video of last years race, it is so awesome, highly recommend running this race,
ruclips.net/video/sIYa3gh_g48/видео.htmlsi=QwuFZ_Znn8BjP9Hc
I am registered for this race. This will be my 2nd 100 miler. My biggest concern is 100 miles of repetitive impact of asphalt/cement.
Hey! That’s awesome! It sounds like a great race to us as well. The pavement pounding will be a lot after a while, but that’s manageable and if you do a lot of training on roads then it will be less comparatively. The RD is great and the race sounds like it is organized well. Should be a good time to get that second buckle!
Always looking to find out more about races in my home state. Thanks!
Awesome! The Loopy Looper sounds like a great time for runners of all levels and experiences. Hope you check them out and thanks for watching.
Can’t wait until it’s released! Congratulations Ed!! Request: Could you also have Adrien Cooper aka MountTinMan on your podcast? He was the winner and is the record holder for the LMS at Southern Tour Ultra. Thanks!!!!
hey! This episode was released a few weeks ago. We just realized we had not published this teaser on RUclips. The episode with Ed is fantastic. And, yeah we agree, Adrien Cooper is a machine.Thanks for recommending!
Great interview
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the spotlight. The race sounds like an epic adventure.
I registered for this year’s 50 mile distance after moving to GA from Charlottesville, VA last year. I used to run the Blue Ridge Mountains in VA and I can say, in my experience, the north GA mountains are tough. GA doesn’t believe in switchbacks!😅 I ran the Coosa Backcountry portion of the course already and have run on sections of the AT and Benton Mackaye trails here - challenging runs that certainly make you work!
That’s awesome man! We will be out there to give it a whirl also! Looking forward to it … and also terrified. Haha!
This is a great interview! Looking forward to running Leona Divide 100k!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the interview as well. We had a blast getting to know Keira and hearing about the Leona Divide 100k. You are going to have a great time. Enjoy it and can't wait to hear how the race goes for you.
Excellent, thank you for featuring Umstead100. My 1st and keep coming back for more every year!! Excellent conversation, questions, and shared information.
Thank you! We love Umstead 100 as well. Was also our first! Looking forward to seeing everyone out there again this year. Neither of us are running it, but both are making plans to pace / volunteer.
Some day.
Make 2024 the year for that day! Get it!
I wanted to burn rock top to the ground!! 🤬🤣 Awesome race, Richard!
😂😂😂😂
I signed up for the 100 miler. Im so excited about it. Did one of Keira's races in 2022 and it was SO well done. She's awesome.
Let’s go! Keep us posted on how it goes! Get it!! 👊🏻
Thank the ultra gods I don't have to run the sawmill truck section! I just signed up for the 50 miler with only 15 spots left. Your podcast was nicely put together and it was great when it went off=script - I get you need to keep the to your own aid-station cutoffs, but the follow-up questions and answers were very helpful. Kudos to Keira for showing her passion for the race and everything involved in putting on a race like this. Now I know what to expect and train for coming out of flatter NE.
Thank you so much for this comment! You are right, for these race spotlights we try to stick to somewhat of a script, which is completely different than our approach on our main show. BUT, when something comes up that we feel needs to dig in like that, we move into it. Definitely appreciate you mentioning it and grateful that the episode brought value for you. And yes, Keira is awesome. You are going to have a great time at the race!
First 100 miler!!! So happy for this interview. See you in a couple weeks.
That's awesome!! Glad to hear. Let us know how it goes. Excited for you to run your first 100 at the Beast of the East. Just awesome to hear about runners taking their next step along the ultra running journey!
This was great! I'm coming from KY for the 50 Miler, looking forward to it!
That’s awesome! Have a great race!
The deer was last year! I was about 100 feet behind it. Absolutely crazy, and so amazing those people finished!
Wait, what? There was a deer in 2022 also? The time we were referring to was back in 2016 when Jeremy’s wife hit one while driving between crew stops. That’s crazy if it happened again to someone! Wow!
Getting excited (and a little worried) about this race! Running it this Saturday for the second time.
That’s awesome!! Have a great run. Don’t be worried. You have been there before. Just show up!
Great race, looking forward to running it AGAIN this coming year. ~FYI I have a video documenting last year.
That’s awesome! It sounds like an incredible race and 🥶🥶🥶🥶
I’ll be there for the 100. Coming from the west coast, so we’ll see if it’s a west coast race on the east coast!
That’s awesome! Definitely want to hear about your experience. This is Jeff, I am not going to be out there like I hoped. But I think you will enjoy the difference. Have a blast!
Richard is such a weirdo though
Weird is the name of the game for us all as ultra runners.
I guess I am. But that is a thing we all do!
Beast of the East was my first 100 that I did back in 2021. Its an amazing course! Very good aid stations and photography like Richard said. I wanted to do a mountain race and being from the midwest (Michigan) it was nice finding a race that checked the boxes without needing to deal with the altitude of a mountain race out west for my first one. Definitely worth checking out!
That’s great to hear that you loved this race too!
Just finished this episode on Spotify and absolutely loved hearing the stories. Makes me wish I was younger and could do stuff like this. Owen is a true inspiration and hope to run a race that he is in. Now what can I accomplish at 41 years young 🎉
Definitely! Owen was such a good young man to talk to. He is tough as nails too!
Truly enjoyed this conversation. Thank you!
We appreciate you all!
Hey Jeff and Jeremy!! Love your podcast! I listen to it practically daily on Spotify and most days 2-4 episodes. Been dreaming of doing an ultra for years and finally started training and have my eyes on a last man standing for my first one in April 2024. Thank you for covering this race! I did not realize it was so close to where I grew up and that it finishes on top of the mountain I spent a lot of time on as a kid. Now I am eyeing this race for 2025. Love love love your show so please never stop, getting close to finishing all your episodes 💪. Thanks again, Kevin from Kansas City Missouri. Your Hydra race you host sounds really fun too. 🎉
Kevin! Man thank you so much for this feedback. That means a ton to us. Hopefully you can go check out the race sometime since it is so close. Good luck at your first last man standing. Which one is it? Thanks again for the feedback it helps inspire us to keep pressing. We love it and are grateful for all the people we have been able to meet over the past couple of years.
@@TheUltraRunningGuys the race is Eternal Damnation out of Wichita, KS. Haven't signed up just yet as I have to coordinate my life too 😂. But you know how that works. It's on 4/20 and that's the same birthday as one of my six kids but I think we will be able to figure it out. Just did a half marathon (solo on a whim this morning) and finished it though I was majorly dehydrated at the end. Went out for a 4 mile run 🙄. Oh I also started using Strava this month because you guys kept talking about it like every podcast. I found you guys on Spotify like less than a month ago just searching ultra running and been hooked.
@@KevinHolden-oi1kn haha! I love it. Saw your Strava run and yeah...you need to hydrate!! Feel free to reach out to us at anytime. Looking forward to seeing how you love Eternal Damnation... that just sounds bad for me to say. haha!
Hey guys! I totally appreciate this podcast/video as I’m about to help pace my lifelong running partner for this race. It’s going to be her first 100 race so hearing all of these logistics from the race was so helpful! Any tips for a first time pacer??? See ya at the race!
That’s awesome! So glad to hear that you found the info helpful! The race sounds like it is going to be epic. Lots of advice that can be thrown out at you, but start with making sure you keep your runner eating and hydrating consistently! They are going to not want to at some point. But always keep in mind… “low mood, eat food”. If stomach turns, then slow down and get it under control, it may take being slower than expected but let the stomach calm down.
@@TheUltraRunningGuys thanks so much for these tips! Taking notes for sure :) excited to be a new sub and learn more. ~Rachel
@@AndyandRachel and if you see me (Jeff) there, make sure to say hi!
@@TheUltraRunningGuys will do!
I'm running this in 2023!
We can't wait to follow! Good mix of terrain. We know the App Trail is your bread an butter and will be fun to watch you take on the flat and fast and then the hills at the end. Exciting!

As always, Andy delivers big! Thanks so much for plugging in and being a part of the community. 🤘
Man as a Floridian I am freaking about a bit with this whole weather issue. I’m so nervous about being cold!
Temp changes can definitely be tough! Keep your core warm, it is better to drop layers than not have them with you. Tuck the extra layer in your pack so you don't get caught being too cold between aid stations. That's always the challenge, having it with you between the aid stations where our minds start making us question our sanity. Get warm and get the mind back into the game and you will do great!
@@TheUltraRunningGuys do you have a recommendation for a lightweight but warm jacket that I could carry in my pack? Oh has to be vegan also so no puffers with animal feathers.
@@barbaraneel7256lot of good options out there. Biggest thing to think of though is in terms of layers. To give you flexibility to vary it up depending on your own body heat and weather. Don’t lock into one item as it could make you too hot or not warm enough.
@@TheUltraRunningGuys thanks!
This will be my first attempt at a 50. Probably won’t be staying out for the hundo but looking forward to the challenge! Thanks for highlighting this event!!
You never know! You may get to the 50 mile mark and think...LFG!! Regardless though, congrats on this being your first 50 miler. Enjoy the ride. The ups and downs. Enjoy it all. Nothing like it.
I've been there twice and dropped at 50 both times. THIS IS THE YEAR! lol It's a really great race and a lot of fun. Truthfully, the colder the better and last year we had some snow to deal with, but I wasn't sweating at all. I disagree with the no light needed comment. It's pitch black at night. It's a small town, so plan on having to travel about 30 minutes for hotels.
This is your year! Just blow right through that mid point and don't look back! And thank you for the feedback about your experience. This is exactly why we are starting to produce this kind of content. You are helping other runners that will watch this video and also read through the comments. So, thank you for taking the time to leave the note. And go crush the TH 100!
@@TheUltraRunningGuys I did blow by it last year and made it back to the aid station for the last leg, but I was wobbling so badly I was afraid to go on!
This is your year! Go get it!
@@Creass this year!
Going back for my second attempt this year. Made it 76 miles last year.
Looking forward to this one. New sub.
You know what is amazing? This many years later, all of the things that Tom says about the Southern Tour Ultra and Ultrarunners doing whatever it takes to finish still ring true. Such an amazing event and inspirational group of people. LOVE this podcast with Tom!
This is such great feedback! Southern Tour is an epic event and Tom was a fantastic guest. Thank you for taking the time to reach out!
Do you have a son named Leo ? If you do does he go to PCA if he does is his teacher miss Ginn in second grade If his then tell him I’m Demari he should know me but if he doesn’t tel him I am in his class bye
SOO many quotable quotes in this podcast and Andy's other podcast you did with him. "Every day you are able to go do what you love, you should be smiling about it," and "Luck is the last dying wish of the unprepared." WOW... I scribbled those down to save them for later. EXCELLENT podcast, guys-- the way you LISTEN before asking questions makes this so conversational vs just a Q&A. This was such a valuable podcast, and as always, so many takeaways! Strong work!!! All the love, all the miles, all the grit, all the light- @runningbooknerd)
Right?!?! Andy is incredible and we had a blast getting to know him. We keep wondering if we should bring him back on for another episode. He has just so much to offer and we felt like we only scratched the surface, despite two episodes with him.
Great podcast episode with a great guy! New subscriber here. Following you guys on Spotify now too!
