We are back! Again! Carson had a seizure, Cat DNFed her most important race of the season, and somehow we are still trucking. Tune into this episode to hear how we navigated Carson’s emergency room visit, what it means to go all in on a race, and the reality of failing on a public stage.

In 2017, Carson was heli-evacuated off the slopes of Jackson Hole, WY. While relearning how to talk and function, he had to find his WHY. While running is less consequential, we relate it back to the importance of finding our 'why' in whatever we choose to pursue. We recorded just before I left for the Western States 100, and we also chat about going back with the pressure of being a past champion, falling in love with the process, high school bullying, and concussion recovery. Lots packed into this one! It’s always hard to ask for things, but sometimes it’s what I have to do! If you like what we’re doing here, please like, subscribe, comment, and hit that 5-star button.

There's a lot packed into this episode, and I hope you like it! As always, please like, subscribe, and interact with the podcast in any way, shape, or form. A little thing that goes a long way!

Oops! It's been a while. Between Madeira's recovery, the 40+ hours it took to get home from Madeira Island, working the Magoon ranch on the Big Island, and traveling to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for Satisfy, we just haven't had time to record a podcast. Never fear; we are back! In this episode, we deep dive into the six days I spent with the Satisfy team, Carson's experience in Jackson Hole and his emergency evac of the mountain, our workouts of the week, an upcoming Indonesia surf trip, and hacking the Instagram algorithm.

We also spend a moment giving thanks to my late athlete and friend, Danny Hartman, who died tragically and suddenly a few months ago. I wanted to give his family and community time to grieve, and I wasn't sure if I should say anything. But letting his death, and more importantly, his life, go unacknowledged has felt like hiding. So here's to Danny, a man whose impact reached far beyond his immediate circle and an athlete I was so lucky to get to know. He is missed by me, the Beast Coast running community, and everyone fortunate enough to interact with him along the way. Learn more about Danny in Vermont 100's Remembrance or read his obituary here.

We are SO BACK and this is a race recap episode! Last weekend, I raced at the MIUT 85k and landed my first podium since my 2023 hip surgery. It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't perfect, but I am going in the right direction. Tune in to hear all the juicy details of the Madeira 85k, my training leading up to it and what comes next.

Shout out to Paul Mackinnon (@thebalancedrunner) who we mentioned in this episode!

Welcome back to BeRad The Pod. On this episode, I interview Carson about his ancestral history in Hawaiʻi, which stems back to Kaha Huha, a guardian of King Kamehameha who later became a chief of war and a skilled canoe shaper. We talk about his family's connection to the ocean, what he learned from growing up working with the land on his family's ranch, and how his relationship with running has changed now that he's married to a professional ultra runner. We wrap up the episode with some listener questions! This was one of our most requested episodes! Let us know what you think.
