Mike DeGeorge is a 27-year-old ultra runner from Albany, NY, who only started running in 2020 and is already competing at an elite level. After discovering David Goggins and using running to turn his life around, Mike built up to 180-mile training weeks, shattered the Brookfield Classic 50K course record, ran 100 miles at a 7:30 pace, and logged 141 miles in 24 hours. In this episode Mike talks about training, discipline, a near-death experience, recovery, and what drives him to chase the dream of joining Team USA. Outside of running, Mike works in a homeless program, has dedicated the past 10 years of his life to homeless services, and is a father to one daughter.

Patrick Hallahan returns to share the rest of the story—how he quit work, lived simply in Flagstaff, stacked 100–140 mile weeks, and rebuilt after DNFs and injuries to cap his season with a sub-66 at Bigfoot 200. We dig into training for 100s and 200s, the power of hiking volume, strength work that protects the descents, fixing GI issues, social media/community support, gear, and what’s next: Saddles 100, Moab 240 volunteering, and a run at Cocodona.

Ultramarathoner Patrick Hallahan returns to the Co-Movement Gym Podcast after an epic finish at the Bigfoot 200. In Part 1 of this two-part episode, Patrick walks us through the grueling 200-mile race across Washington’s Cascade Mountains, where bonks, hallucinations, wildlife encounters, and one-hour of total sleep tested his limits. We dive deep into fueling struggles, mindset shifts, and the lessons only a 200-miler can teach.
