  • Season 16 Launch: The Mendocino Coast 50k race director Sid Garza-Hillman
    Oct 1 2024

    Scott talks to the race director and founder of the Mendocino Coast 50k, Sid Garza-Hillman about the history of the race, his running journey, and the launch of the newest season of the Becoming Ultra Project, Season 16. Si didn't run his first ultra until he was 46. We talk about his life as a musician and actor and why he decided to uproot and more to the northern part of the state. His race sells out fast and running along rivers, redwoods, and ocean probably has something to do with it all. Sid even wrote a book about running ultra's as a normal person which is amazing! We hope you enjoy the conversation and share with a friend that a great opportunity to run their first ultra is now taking applications.

  • My First Ultra: 145 Tracy Meyerson
    Oct 1 2024

    We had the most fun talking to Tracy Meyerson. She recently finished her goal of running a marathon/ultra distance in every state. We discuss what it takes to accomplish that goal and how long it took her. Tracy will be sixty-one soon and not slowing down. She tells us how she maintains good health and the importance of nutrition. Tracy is living her best life, having amazing adventures and thriving. We hope you find this conversation as inspiring as we did.

Great Backstory!

Really enjoyed the banter between the runners on this episode. I found myself giggling, while listening to podcast, as I'm running/dying up a mountain on a training run. Keep up the great work.
