Allison interviews Dylan, an ultra runner with 14+ ultramarathons, a sobriety and redemption story, and a weekly live cornhole podcast.

Dylan shares how he ran casually as a young athlete, joined the US Army in 2013 for eight and a half years, then swore off running after leaving in 2021 and struggled with lost purpose and heavy drinking, intensified after a roommate’s death in a 2022 motorcycle accident.

After reading David Goggins’ “Can’t Hurt Me,” he began training for the 4x4x48 challenge, found running as therapy, and rapidly progressed from half-marathon to marathon to 50 miles and then a 100-mile loop race, describing a faith-defining moment around mile 40–41.

He discusses endurance, choosing suffering, gratitude, community, racing routines, fueling and recovery, favorite and hardest races, gear and shoes, mantras for running and sobriety, and goals including a top-10 finish at Cocodona while spreading faith, fitness, and sobriety.
