Run The Riot Podcast

Arlen Glick is FAST!  And getting faster!  He's just 28 years old and ran the Tunnel Hill 100 mile race in just 12:57:11 in November.  Then, he followed that up with a win at Umstead with a 13:22:40!  It was fun getting to know Arlen and discuss how he realized his God-given talent and his journey to where he is today.  He's a well-grounded man still working a full-time job while crushing it in races and striving to realize his full potential.

Randy has been running Ultramarathons for quite a while and is still going strong! He was running Leadville in the 80s.  He even ran across the United States and wrote a book about it. This past weekend he finished the Prairie Spirit 50 miler at 69 Years old! He's a humble guy with a friendly smile that loves our sport and enjoys sharing his journey. His genuine joy is contagious.

Oh man...what a great visit with my friend Chris Baldwin. Chris is well known in Arkansas due to his involvement in running, volunteering, and co-directing races in the state. He and his friend Ronnie are well known for their training and aid station shenanigans. Chris and I both ran the Tahoe 200 in 2018 and we take some time to compare our experiences and laugh a lot about the videos on the internet of his delirium! Chris also gives us an update on his recovery from a fall last year that took him out of the Moab 240 due to a broken hip and wrist. (Hint: He'll be running Umstead 100 when this is released!) Other topics - Arkansas Trail Running Community, The LOViT 100, Arkansas Traveller, and the film that everyone training for Traveller should (not) watch! Show notes:  http://www.theriot.run/chrisb

We must take time to rest - physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Join us as we discuss our experiences during the LOViT 100.  This episode was so much fun!  During the first segment, Matt Coriell and I compare our strategies, perspectives, and experiences during the LOViT 100.  I had a blast laughing with Matt and hearing about his journey over the grueling 100 mile course.  Matt is also the host of the Wayne Watch Podcast so check that out! The second segment features my friend and coach Cliff Pittman.  We discuss my preparation for LOViT, the race, and his perspective as he paced me through the final 27 miles of the race to a second-place finish.  Lots of good info, tips, and insight into running 100 miles here from Cliff! The last portion is my lovely wife, Jennifer and her perspective as my crew and encourager. Show notes at http://www.theriot.run/lovit

One of the things I love about ultrarunning is how it brings people from all walks of life together.  You never know who you might meet on the trail or even online talking about running!  Today's guest, Scott Poling, is pastor of Harvest New Beginnings Church in Oswego, IL, and has been for 26 years.  He was drawn to the adventure of ultrarunning.  He loves bringing the Spiritual into the Physical.  Listen in as we talk about ultrarunning, life, faith, and lots in between.
