Cultra Trail Running

Jerry Turk shares his stories of what the running scene is like in England, and New England and discusses the Ultra Culture of the Hell Gate 100k. Jerry is an accomplished runner, having completed the Grand Slam of Ultra Running as well as finishing the grueling Western States qualifier Hellgate 100k 16 times. He also is the Race Director for Bimblers Bluff 50K, the Bimblers Bash 10kish, race and a crucial part of the Running community. The CULTRA trail running podcast is a place where we can get together and discuss all the fun shit that happens on the trails, that most normal people don't care about. CULTRA's headquarters is located in the belly of the beast coast, Glastonbury Connecticut, so most of our stories involve North East Trail running or North East Trail runners. The language used in this show is explicit and raw like the trails we run on, so don't listen to this with your kids. We don't have sponsors at this point, instead we like to recognize the folks that support us. This week we recognize Race Director Amy Rusiecki. Amy is the Race Director for Vermont 100 as well as a few races in Western Mass. Thank you all so much for your support.

One of the challenges of Ultra Running is keeping a positive attitude when things go bad. Becky Burke is an accomplished ultra runner who has faced and overcome many low spots in during her races. She shares what it's like to be in a dark place and introduces us to "Evil Becky" her calorie depleted race persona. To help with the discussion this week we week we invited our Patreons Christina Chin-Hing and Jimmy Mac to come and join us in the studio to act as co hosts as we interview Becky. This show is a combination interview and the typical Cultra hijinks. We enjoy listening to a few Cultra Karayoke songs, and get into an intense game of Cultramatic. The CULTRA trail running podcast is a place where we can get together and discuss all the fun shit that happens on the trails, that most normal people don't care about. CULTRA's headquarters is located in the belly of the beast coast, Glastonbury Connecticut, so most of our stories involve North East Trail running or North East Trail runners. The language used in this show is very explicit and raw like the trails we run on, so don't listen to this with your kids, and if that stuff offends you too much, or if you are a triathlete, or are on some really weird ultra runner fad diet, and can't take a joke, this is definitely not the episode for you.

This show is a long form one on one interview with 20 year veteran Elite Trail Runner and environmentalist, Debbie Livingston. We could spend an entire episode discussing just the races that she has won. We could spend another episode discussing how to raise a fit and healthy family and getting them involved with trails and endurance sport. Or we could spend a few hours discussing the Cult of Ultra Culture and how it has changed in the last 20 years. That would still leave Yoga, coaching, trail advocacy, women's rights, pregnancy and running, race directing, environmental issues, and a review of the most epic mountain trail routes in the North East. Today's show is kind of a sampler of these things. The CULTRA trail running podcast is a place where we can get together and discuss all the fun stuff that happens on the trails, that most normal people don't care about. CULTRA's headquarters is located in the belly of the beast coast, Glastonbury Connecticut, so most of our stories involve North East Trail running or North East Trail runners. The language used in this show is NOT explicit and raw so feel free to listen to this with your kids, or at work, and the only likely way you could be offended is if a little vegan talk upsets you, and if that's the case, and your not open to discussing things that make you uncomfortable, then you most likely have other bigger issues to deal with in your life. At any rate feel free to swear at us if you need too. We don't have sponsors at this point, instead we like to recognize the folks that support us.

The language used in this show is very explicit and raw like the trails we run on, so don't listen to this with your kids, and if that stuff offends you too much, this is definitely not the episode for you. In this episode, we embarrass ourselves in playing Cultramatic, a fast paced, running themed super high pressure, circular trivia game, and we get the Cultra Crew to take the Cultra Quiz. We also have a Cultra Karaoke session, playing some of the messages we have received from our listeners. In addition to laughing pretty hard, we also take some time to say goodbye to Jordan, as this is likely her last podcast with us for a long time. We surprise her with some pretty emotional and at times hilarious Cultra Hotline messages that her family left. We will miss her sharp wit, her trash talk, and most of all her friendship on the trails and in the studio, but are happy for her as she leaves to become a JAG in the US Airforce.

Caitlin Rossi shares with us her life story of how she became more than just an ultra runner. Ultra runners are known for their acts of kindness. Caitlin grew up in a caring home, where taking strangers into their life was the norm. She then transferred this culture of kindness and caring into her adult life, and brought it to the running community, and we have chance to dig into that during this interview.

Well, we messed up recording a full episode.. so here we are with a 5k. The only CULTRA member without a real life was left to record a solo episode introducing the world to CULTRA Karaoke! What the heck is that? It's this: (203) 364-4368 is the number you should all save in your phones – and give a call when you are out on your runs and you just can't get that song out of your head. The call will go straight to a voicemail and you can get that song out of your system by singing your heart out into our voicemail. We kick things off with some select tunes by Hanson, the B-52s and others.

Eric Gruettner is not elite and he was not met with instant success either. Eric joins the Cultra Crew and shares with us his struggles to reach the hundred mile distance as he battles course conditions, focus, injury, training, logistics, nutrition, sickness and a bunch of others. Eric's battle was a chess match that we can all learn something from.

Well it was super bowl Sunday and I had a few friends over and some good stories of the trail started to flow, so we moved into the studio! Mike Keenan, Rick O'Toole, and Todd Brown join Traps and Dr. J. Talking about the roots and the spirits in the Rocks of the Mesh is much more fun than football. The Meshomasic State Forest is one of Connecticut's great secrets. It has miles of unmarked trails that seem to get everyone lost. There are Nike Missile Sites, Shady Government Facilities, meth labs, and a buried alien spaceship, that rotates the ground and muddles the mind. The language used in most of our shows is explicit and raw just like our trails, so don't listen to this with your kids, and if that stuff offends you too much, this may not be the episode for you. So Mike Keenan was the guy who encouraged me to run my first trail ultra The Bimblers Bluff 50K, a great race that we all love. Mike is quite the runner and in addition to a few dabbling on the trails, he has run many Marathons including the time he ran Boston with Lance Armstrong after taunting him on his blog for months before. Rick O'Toole is a great friend of mine and we often run the trails together. He ran a ton of Blue trails with me when as I was on my quest to run every Blue Blazed trail in CT and he is always seeking adventure. Todd Brown has run Boston for the last 24 years in a row, and has run Manchester Road Race nearly every year of his life, and he is almost as old as I am. So we hope you enjoy our tales about our local forest, the Meshomasic State Forest AKA the MESH. Here is a link to the Film "Mile.

Listen and be amazed by Brian's ability to say things that no human should be forced to utter! Then just when he thinks it safe, the Highlander Joe Laskey is surprised as the Cultra Crew goes all ninja monkey on him with a surprise interview. The result is legendary as we learn a little more about what makes Joe tick. If you are looking for good fast generic Ultra Running advice, Joe has an answer. There is no such thing. Your best bet is to simply join an Ultra Running Cult. Or maybe you already have, and didn't realize it. Hey Race directors!

Tobias Tello is an ultra runner in every sense of the word. He also happens to be 14 years old. Listen to him in this interview and you will immediately recognize that he owns his running. It is his. Like many of us he runs mostly for the joy of the trail, but he also loves a little competition. His father Enrique, a two time marathoner, supports his son in a very healthy way, allowing his son to choose his own challenges. This is not a case of the father pushing the son to an unhealthy place. Instead their dynamic has allowed Tobias to explore his limits, and mature as he accomplishes more and more on the trail, and in life. The language used in this episode, unlike most of our other episodes, is family friendly (gasp!), so we encourage you to listen to this with your kids. Ultra Running is not for everyone, however after listening to this episode you and your kids, may find yourselves lacing them up.

Joining the Cultra today is our special guest Brian Vanderheiden. No not Brian Roccapriore, he's not that Brian. The language used in most of our shows is as explicit and as raw as the trails we run on, so don't listen to this with your kids, and if that stuff offends you too much, this is definitely not the episode for you. Brian Vanderheiden is a really great guy who has breathed new life into the trail running scene in South West Connecticut and New York. He has run some of the toughest races in New York, and serves as a race director for the many great trail races that his company Steep Endurance puts on in conjunction with his racing team, and coaching services. We get a chance to hear the details of Steep Endurance's upcoming races, including Mountain Lakes Backyard Ultra, a last man Standing race where you will have a chance to earn a spot in Laz's Big's Backyard. Time flies for us in this longer than usual episode as we also discuss a few more Facebook grievances and give you our thoughts on the trend of attacking race directors for their decisions.

James MacCaffrey is definitely the Cultra Personality, he is a West coaster who finds his dream trails in the Beast coast. He is a great guy that really keeps things fun, weather he is acting as a race director, supporting others on the run, coaching or knocking out FKTs on some of the toughest trails around. He has run the long stuff, but is not afraid to race on the roads or even the track. We had a lot of fun recording this episode with him, as we discuss East Vs West, how to pee and run at the same time, some gear talk, and get the lowdown on the Catskills.
