We're joined this week by Austin Pryor aka the man behind all the stats during Burrito League. He held it down not only during the competition but during this episode - sharing stats not only for our segment but all the cities that really held it down.

Back in the studio and a little rusty, the crew discuss Burrito League, the Olympics (sort of), and what in the heck we're doing this year. We also recap Will's stellar performance at Rabid Raccoon.

On-loop podcast with founder, Mac Dean and others! Also, BIG Announcement at the end, so listen all the way through!

Last pod of 2025! We recap Lookout 50, 2025 as a whole and project forward to 2026. Thanks for listening this year! Big plans in store for 2026, so stay tuned!

Special pod where we record with one mic in Will's office. The pod reviews Big Daddy Week, shines a light on the Western States Lottery and definitely doesn't decide on a race for next year. We answer our own hypothetical question and there's plenty of banter. One might argue that it's all banter.

Thanks for listening to us each week*

The podcast crew talks about ways to approach offseason training and construct a race calendar.

Sorry this is late! But the gang's all here this week! We bring our regularly scheduled news and banter, but we interview Mike about his amazing performance at the Javelina Jundred 100-miler. Stick around until the end for important news about Big Daddy Week and a surprise at the very end that is not a pretend listener question.

We're back and with a special guest! Not it's not Will (he was there though) it's Signal Mountain native and local LEGEND Skyler Baker. We maintain our usual banter, go over local race news, and review our performances at Kodiak by UTMB and the Wild Trails Chattanooga Mountains Stage Race.

Just the coaches on this episode! We cover the usual banter, news, but most of the episode is the tidbits we claim to cover in our intro. Mike and Charlie discuss their takeaways from Evoke Endurance coach Scott Johnston's interview on Freetrail. They discuss how they might apply Scott's training methods to themselves and their athletes and where his methods might not work for every athlete. Lea is on the pod, but steps away for a coaching call after some banter.
