82 - Buttholes, Buckles & Backyard Ultras

Ultrarunning had itself a week.

We start with Camille Herron, OnlyFans, accountability, athlete culture, and the increasingly blurry line between “empowerment” and just putting your ass on the internet for money.

Then we finally behave ourselves and talk about actual ultrarunning.

One of our coached athletes finishes the Georgia Jewel 100 on just three days of training per week—while still prioritizing his job, family, and real life. We break down why execution matters more than chasing mileage, why Georgia Jewel is nastier than it looks on paper, and why heat strategy can make or break your race.

We get into carrying more water than you think you need, ice, cooling, hats, airflow, gear preferences, and the very scientific principle of not cooking yourself alive in the Georgia sun.

Then it’s on to Last Soul Ultras, backyard racing, last-man-standing formats, preserving the roots of the sport without becoming the grumpy old people yelling from the porch, and whether the future eventually includes an eccentric billionaire making people run around an island until only one survives.

Probably not.

Hopefully not.

This is the Ultra Crewed Podcast, so no promises.
