Host Celeste Fong talks with Greg Smith about his running journey from college runs and marathons to technical mountain ultras. They cover standout races—from Spain’s rugged Pyrenees course to Mid-State Massive and Old Dominion—plus the thrill and challenge of trail versus road running.

The conversation also explores balancing training with new fatherhood, sleep deprivation, race planning and fueling, community support on the trail, and facing risks like allergies and the surreal moments that come with ultra-distance running.

In this episode Celeste Fong talks with Marcy Ritsick about her shock discovery from an at-home DNA test, learning she was donor-conceived and half Ashkenazi Jewish, searching for and meeting her biological father, and the ripple effects on her family, identity, and medical history.

They discuss the emotional fallout, the loss and rebuilding of relationships, finding community and chosen family through running and advocacy, and how Marcy moved forward with resilience.

Celeste hosts an adult-only episode featuring Mike and Taylor as they relive the Frozen Yeti 30-hour winter race: extreme cold, deep snow, and brutal conditions that turned miles into a fight for survival.

They discuss pacing, gear failures, injuries, aid-station moments, and the humor and teamwork that helped them get through a punishing 50-mile effort.
