Hayden Hawks | Racing Jim & Zach, Western States Ambitions, The Mamba Mentality
2022/06/20
My guest on this episode is Hayden Hawks, one of the greatest talents in the sport of American ultrarunning. Today, we explore a myriad of topics including his competitive mindset, his professional approach to ultrarunning, what it was like competing against the likes of Jim Walmsley and Zach Miller, how ball sports athletes influenced his own approach as an endurance athlete, stories about his faith and how it shaped him into who he is today, what it will take to win Western States and much, much more. He was an absolute pleasure to talk to and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it! + Watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/1ddX2bfcx3k + Miller vs. Hawks https://youtu.be/7DCR03UDggA + Hayden Hawks Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hawks_hayden/  ______ Patreon.com/BillyYang Instagram.com/BillyYangPod Twitter.com/BillyYang Facebook.com/BillyYangPodcast

Canada's Jazmine Lowther has been taking 2022 by storm in 2022 with her podium finish at Chuckanut 50K and most recently, her course record win at the Canyons by UTMB 100K.

Michael Wardian | BYP 073
2022/03/02
My guest today Michael Wardian has long been on my list of athletes I've wanted to converse with because he very well might be the new Most Interesting Man In The World. Beyond his running resume and achievements - of which there are many including running 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days (all under 3 hours), being the last man standing at the Quarantine Backyard Ultra during the Covid shutdowns (260+ miles in over 63 hours) and multiple world records...he also manages to carry a full-time job, a wife, 2 sons and multiple different hobbies and passions outside of endurance sports. Today, we attempt to unpack as much of it that we can, find out how he recovers so quick, how to get out of low moments during races, who he enjoys competing against and what's exactly in store for what may be his biggest endurance feat yet: running across America this May 1st from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean in a project called "Running Home". All to raise money for clean water projects to underdeveloped countries. + To Donate: https://bit.ly/3Mqx00W + YouTube Interview: https://youtu.be/aQu__82yDdg + Quarantine Backyard Ultra: https://youtu.be/loGR3Rh6fRE + Cooper Kupp: https://youtu.be/2I3CHKBcJbw + Sean McVay's Photographic Memory: https://youtu.be/IjlfQBQk_kg  ______ Patreon.com/BillyYang Instagram.com/BillyYangPod Twitter.com/BillyYang Facebook.com/BillyYangPodcast

On his 30th birthday, Dean Karnazes decided to walk out of his birthday celebration to run 30 miles on a whim in search of adventure and renewed purpose. Today on the podcast, we talk about the book that initially put Dean on the map "Ultramarathon Man: Confessions Of An All-Night Runner" and his excellent follow up "A Runner's High: My Life In Motion" which draws the curtains back a bit on what it takes to pursue your passion, some of its pitfalls, thoughts on aging/relevancy, the importance of mentorship and much more.  + Becoming A Marathoner: https://youtu.be/xbaJY15Wodo + Ultramarathon Man the film: https://youtu.be/bpjRFkqTIkY + A Runner's High the book: https://amzn.to/3uNKH3s  ______ Patreon.com/BillyYang Instagram.com/BillyYangPod Twitter.com/BillyYang Facebook.com/BillyYangPodcast

Jerry Garcia | BYP 065
2021/03/12
US Forest Firefighter Jerry Garcia's path to becoming an ultrarunner was an improbable one. From growing up around gangs and violence in Los Angeles, finding trouble in the Navy and then getting mixed up in drugs and alcohol - even ending up homeless on the streets - it was hard to imagine a future around a healthy lifestyle of clean living and running. In today's episode with Hoka Ambassador and firefighter, we cover his incredible journey to becoming the athlete he is today, his tireless work battling blazes in the wilderness, overcoming drug addiction and so much more!  ______ Patreon.com/BillyYang Instagram.com/BillyYangPod Twitter.com/BillyYang Facebook.com/BillyYangPodcast
