One of the most badass racers I know is Kat Edwards Anderson. She has been on the WASP twice before, most recently on episode #327 in January, chatting about her runs at the Sedona Canyons 125 and the Moab 240. I first met her in Chile in March, 2024, where she impressively conquered many new challenges for her in the high Atacama Desert. She built on these experiences by overcoming blisters on her feet, menstrual cycle irregularities, heat, and mental hurdles to get on the podium at Moab. In this episode, Kat shares some great insights on her run in May at the Cocodona 250, where she finished as the 6th female. Kat took many of the lessons from Moab, along with input from her coach, Tyler Andrews, to dial in the minutiae that is required to have success at such a grueling race. Kat shares much about the custom-designed gear she used to suit her needs, and the many very sound practices that she employed for Cocodona. Naturally, there were uncontrollables like the weather, and once again, her cycle. Most notably, she generously shares her mental battles through the race, and how her crew and her faith both came through for her to get to a finish line that at times seemed improbable. This is a great chat inside the mind of a tough, focused endurance beast of a runner. Next up for Kat is some “speedwork” as she comes out here to Colorado to slay the Leadville Trail 100.Kat Edwardskatedwardspt.comInstagram @kat.elizabeth_For coaching inquiries: www.chaski.runBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastPlease support Team Leadville and Warriors' Ascent help prevent veteran suicide!

 Coach Chris unpacks what it really takes to improve as an endurance athlete—beyond just logging more miles or training harder. She dives into some of the methodology that she and her coaching team use for their athletes, including:The key principle that underpins every successful training plan (and how to know if you're doing it right)Why your heart rate zones might be steering you wrong—and how to truly dial in your intensityThe real secret weapon for recovery (hint: it’s not a supplement or fancy device)How to decode your fitness, fatigue, and form using data that many athletes overlookWhy big performance gains often come from small technical tweaks—not more time on the roadWhat elite athletes are tracking that most weekend warriors aren’t (but should be)And why the smartest athletes focus less on doing more—and more on doing it betterReady to stop guessing and start progressing? Visit theenduranceedge.com/triathloncoaching to learn more about our coaching programs and sign up for one of our open houses to apply to work with us. Visit theenduranceedge.com/fuelingbootcamp to learn more about the Fueling & Hydration bootcamp, and how to improve your fitness with proper fueling for endurance sports.  Support the showDownload our free resources: 6 Steps to Triathlon Success: Free Guide Hydration Guide for Athletes Runner's Fueling & Hydration Cheat Sheet Guide to High Performance Healthy Eating Find us here: TheEnduranceEdge.comRace with us: Humans of Steel Olympic & Sprint Triathlon at Harris Lake, NCPurchase Safe Supplements here.Follow us on Instagram or Facebook

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to one of the best coaches in the state, Coach David Nunez of Organ Mountain High School. Coach Nunez recently retired from coaching and teaching after 35 years of commitment. During our time we talked about his start in running and the amazing coaches he got to learn from and on to his own start to coaching. He told me what it means to be a coach and what he learned from the first time he was called coach to now. We also talked about what went into his decision to retire. It is not something he took lightly and you can still hear his passion for the sport as we talked. We briefly spoke about a couple of his great athletes that are graduating this year and what it has been like to coach athletes of that caliber. I'll have to have him back on to talk about some of the actual training they were doing. I really enjoyed our time and I hope that you enjoy it as well. I can understand how his passion has helped his program over these years. It's been a few months, but I hope that this is the start of getting back on a steady schedule. In the meantime, enjoy this episode and hydrate as we start hitting these higher temperatures again. By smart in your training, listen to your body, and keep running, New Mexico.

A breakthrough race is intoxicating. Running a big Personal Best is a clear sign that you're training well, thriving, and on the right track. But what happens next? What happens after you run a big PR and your season comes to an end? How do you keep the momentum going, while still respecting recovery and your need for down-time?  This episode is a repost of a conversation on the Elevate Your Running podcast with coach Sara Manderscheid. We talk about: Recovery is a real phase of training. Learn how long to rest and why it's more than physical. Race analysis and reflection: Discover how to learn from your recent race, identifying both successes and areas for improvement. New Goals or No?: Explore diverse approaches to planning your next training cycle. Smart base rebuilding: Find effective strategies for a gradual and consistent return to training. Preventing burnout and staying motivated: Keep your passion for running strong, even during the off-season.
