    Ultra Running for Normal People with Sid Garza-Hillman

    Ultra Running for Normal People with Sid Garza-Hillman

    We are all about the every day runner, and this week we get to talk to author, coach, race director Sid Garza-Hillman about his new book, Ultra Running for Normal People: Life Lessons Learned On and Off the Trail.  We dive into a few of the nine lessons covered in the book. 

    As every day runners, you'll love Sid's perspective on the trails, which like many of us, he discovered later in life.  It's an episode you don't want to miss!

    Two Films You Don't Want to Miss

    Two Films You Don't Want to Miss

    When we come across great films we know the Big Ass Runner Herd would enjoy, we must pass them along.

    Both films are must-see.  The first, a fantastic ultra marathon documentary surrounding one of the top races in our sport.  The second, a feature film that is trail running adjacent, but is chalked full of valuable life lessons.

    Jeff talks about them both on Episode 185 of the Big Ass Runner Trail Running Podcast.

Hilarious people who share a trail running hobby

Jeff and Steven and Timmy Time and their hostile witness Marcie are truly hilarious people who talk about ultras and trail running every once in a while. And though you might think by the name that there’s a bunch of foul language don’t be fooled. It really is a wholesome, family show. Heard about this podcast from Melody and Jason at Trail to 100 and haven’t stopped binging for the last two weeks. Great show. And tell Marcie that with her stubbornness she’d be a great ultra runner if one of you happens to eventually persuade her to run more than half a mile.
