Who likes COFFEE?? Do you use caffeine to boost your energy? Did you know that caffeine can boost your performance? What form of caffeine you determines how much effect it will have. In this episode we ‘nerd out’ on the perks of coffee and caffeine intake with guest Keren Blount, coffee roaster extraordinaire and owner of Runner Coffee Co. Obviously she likes running too (hence the company name)! She’ll teach us how to brew a consistent cup at home and it all begins with the type and grind of beans. 

Order a bag of ‘More Ultra Less Lady’ blend coffee and 30% will be contributed back to Ultra Ladies™ to help us continue supporting and educating more women into the sport of Ultrarunning: Runner Coffee Co.

In this episode, our favorite Ultrarunning Historian Davy Crockett tells about “Historic Women Breaking The Gender Barrier.” Women are still in the minority in the sport, but that is slowly changing. While we are pushing forward, it’s good to look behind once in a while and honor those from history that helped get us here. Davy is the creator of the Ultrarunning History Podcast and is the director of the American Ultrarunning Hall of Fame. He is also an accomplished ultrarunner, having run about 150 races, with 108 of those being 100-mile finishes as of 2022. You can discover more about Davy and ultrarunning history at https://ultrarunninghistory.com/.

Professional Ultramarathon athlete Katie Asmuth visits with us to review her recent (second) Western States Endurance Run finish, and also share what she learned as an Ultra Ladies athlete when she first began the sport. Katie first began her ultrarunning training with the Ultra Ladies in Los Angeles. She has put in a lot of dedicated training, and rapidly became an accomplished ultrarunner. Katie finished 5th female at the 2021 Western States, and had a hard-earned finish as 9th female in 2023. Come laugh with us as we dive into what the start of ultrarunning was like for her, what it’s like to vomit for 40+ miles during a race, and a bonus: we teach you how to pee standing up!
