250 Miles Changes Everything | Season 3, Episode 30
The last time he joined Pushing Horizons: Step by Step, he had just won Sedona Canyon 125 and had already decided what was coming next: Cocodona 250.
At that point, 250 miles was still something he could only imagine.
This time, he comes back after experiencing it for himself.
We talk about what it actually takes to run Cocodona 250, from 100+ mile training weeks and back-to-back long runs to sleep deprivation, hallucinations, nutrition, chafing, swollen feet and ankles, crew support, pacers, and the constant problem-solving required to keep moving for more than three days.
He shares what happened when the race became difficult, why reaching 125 miles is mentally different when you know you're only halfway, and what went through his mind when he reached mile 211 with some of the hardest miles of his life still ahead.
We also talk about the role his wife and crew played when he could no longer think clearly, why finishing a 250-mile race becomes a team effort, and what he learned about himself by continuing when his body and mind were telling him to stop.
After Cocodona, he went on to finish Tahoe 200 — an experience that changed his approach to sleep and multi-day racing even further.
And despite everything Cocodona put him through, he's going back.
Because after 250 miles, the question is no longer whether he can do it.
It's what he can do differently the next time.
