Confession...I am a slow but persistent trail runner who likes to take on crazy trail running adventures. This is a podcast about the weird world of running, trail running and ultramarathons. Mostly from the perspective of the back of the pack...ordinary people trying to do extra-ordinary things. Topics will focus on gear, health, nutrition, training, trails and trail races around MN and the Midwest, and also taking a look all of this through the lens of older runners. Get ready for an ultra slow, but highly optimistic ride. We will get to that finish line, even if we are...running behind.

Grace To The Finish : A Panel Discussion On Immigration Advocacy
<p>There is currently an estimated 12-14 million law abiding immigrants in the US, living in fear. Not knowing if they will be taken away from their families or forced into a detention center. Someone you know is afraid to travel, to work to even go on a trail race or run, not knowing if they will be safe, even though they are legal and have done nothing wrong. Because of the color of their skin and the way they speak, they have been told they are not good enough, they are criminals and they don't belong. This is dehumanizing...and this must stop.</p><p><br></p><p>This is a special panel discussion for the Grace To The Finish campaign. Grace To The Finish was started by Joey Metzger and Neeraj Egbert as an awareness campaign to raise support for immigration advocacy, inclusion and anti-discrimination, especially among the running and trail running communities. We are here to allow voices to be heard and steer supporters to relevant organization, causes and efforts that can help make a difference. Besides Joey and Neeraj, the panel includes Carolina Rubio-MacWright, founder of Touching Land, Cristina Regalado, co-founder of Wasatch Trail Collective and former board member of the Women of the Wasatch, Francisco Segovia, Executive Director of COPAL MN and Jason Bahamundi, owner and founder of The Everyday Athlete Podcast Network and RunTriBike. </p><p><br></p><p>It's time to speak up, it's time to listen, and it's time to take action.</p><p><br></p><p>Grace To The Finish website: https://www.gracetothefinish.org/</p><p><br></p><p>Carolina on IG: https://www.instagram.com/stories/carustol/</p><p>Touching Land : https://www.touchingland.org/</p><p><br></p><p>Cristina on IG: https://www.instagram.com/stories/runchachi/</p><p>Wasatch Trail Collective: https://linktr.ee/wasatchtrailscollective</p><p>Women of the Wasatch: https://www.womenofthewasatch.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Francisco Segovia (COPAL): https://copalmn.org/leadership-and-staff/francisco-segovia/</p><p>COPAL on IG: https://www.instagram.com/mncopal/</p><p><br></p><p>Jason Bahamundi on IG: https://www.instagram.com/cooktraineatrace/</p><p>Run.Tri.Bike : https://runtrimag.com/</p><p>Everyday Athlete Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/everyday_athlete_podcast_ntwrk/</p><p><br></p><p>Neeraj on IG: https://www.instagram.com/egbertne47/</p><p><br></p><p>https://openingdoorsinc.org/</p><p>https://immigrantdefensenetwork.org/</p><p>https://www.crc4me.org/</p><p>https://www.immigrationadvocates.org/</p><p><br></p><p>Running Behind Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/running.behind_pod/</p>

Lindsay Teague : Running Her Life & Burning The Ships
<p>2.7 million likes...just let that sink in for a minute. I mean, I am happy with a handful of views, a couple of likes, but my guest today takes that to a whole new level. Lindsay Teague, or Linz or Run.This.Life as she's known on social media has a huge following and with good reason. The best part though, is that she doesn't make all those posts for the attention. She does it because she genuinely LOVES running, she loves sharing about it, and she believes that fitness should come from a place of celebration. It is exactly that positive attitude and dedication that has led her to complete multiple 100 mile races. In this conversation we get to know Linz...how she got started running, and what inspires and drives her to push for more. Hey if this chat were a run, it would be one of those great runs in the forest finding new trails and discovering amazing sights, all while getting in a good workout. So, if you are heading out for that great run, grab your phone to take a shot or two for IG, and just one pole, cuz it's time to hit the trail.</p><p>Linz on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@run.this.life</p><p><br></p><p>Linz on IG: https://www.instagram.com/run.this.life</p><p>One of my fav posts: https://www.instagram.com/p/DY0WpzlPw1y/</p><p><br></p><p>Linz on FB: https://www.facebook.com/people/RunThisLife/61571763113788/</p><p><br></p><p>Linz on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/23404266</p><p><br></p><p>Revolution Running: https://revolutionrunning.net/</p><p><br></p><p>Coach Dan England: https://www.adventuresinengland.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Ultra Running Magazine: https://ultrarunning.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Joey's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Run_Joey_Run</p><p><br></p><p>Running Behind on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/running.behind_pod</p><p><br></p><p>Joey's Strava Profile: https://www.strava.com/athletes/111237895</p><p><br></p><p>Artwork by Ed Linder</p>

Suzy Lurie: FKTs, OMGs And DFL At Cocodona 250
<p>Picture the scene...It's the finish line of the 2026 Cocodona 250 mile race. Everyone is celebrating and going crazy. Overall race winner, Rachel Entrekin is there and she is embracing my guest, Suzy Lurie...Now, did Suzy come in 2nd or 3rd...well, not exactly. Suzy is used to setting FKTs (Fastest Known Times) at various places in her home state of MN. Isn't it ironic then, that her claim to fame happens when she finishes the longest race of her career and comes in last. But coming in last cannot stop the insatiable energy, enthusiasm and excitedness that is UltraSuzy. In this episode we chat about how she got her start, what led to her deciding to toe the line at the 2026 Cocodona 250, and the incredible stories and dramas that unfolded along the way. And we also discuss her complete infatuation with the Elm Creek Backyard Ultra and Afton 50K races. So, strap on those Zegama 2s, grab your anchor airpods and head out for your run, cuz it's time to hit the trail</p><p><br></p><p>Suzy's FKTs: https://fastestknowntime.com/athlete/suzy-lurie</p><p><br></p><p>Suzy on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/102412799</p><p><br></p><p>Cocodona 250 website: https://www.aravaiparunning.com/cocodona/</p><p><br></p><p>Heated Rivalry TV show: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_Rivalry</p><p><br></p><p>Joey's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Run_Joey_Run</p><p><br></p><p>Running Behind on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/running.behind_pod</p><p><br></p><p>Joey's Strava Profile: https://www.strava.com/athletes/111237895</p><p><br></p><p>Artwork by Ed Linder</p>
