Cultra Trail Running

326: Finding Common Ground in Politics, Running, and the Power of Curiosity
Whether its road running versus trail running, Garmin versus Coros, iPhone versus Android or Democrats versus Republicans, why does it sometimes feel so hard for us to actually listen to each other? We look at what it means to find common ground, and to be genuinely curious. And why it is sometimes so difficult to remain curious. We also take a look at our mental maps and try to figure out why it can be so difficult for us to change our perspective. This is a conversation that some would rather hide in the bottom of a portajohn to avoid. But you love this shit, and we love you right back. Enjoy this warm cuppa Cultra Brew! So is Curiosity the antidote to binary thinking? Is Listening with empathy a superpower in both politics and trail running. So who is running the ? Have a listen to Get your official at our store!

325: Blind Donkey Runner John Robert Mckay
When most of us think of “running blind”, we envision a state of panic where one must proceed without having a clear understanding of what lies ahead. Trail running can be challenging enough even when we can see the rocks and roots that can trip us up. John Robert Mckay, AKA The Blind Donkey Runner does not let that stop him. We hear the details of how he is able to avoid “rock in 3-2-1, ROCK” with the aid of guides. We hear about his journey to qualify and run The Boston Marathon, his racing on the track, trails and ultra events. John also shines the spotlight on local Georgia High School Track coaches and their athletes through his own podcast and he is a subject matter expert! We spend a lot of time talking about making connections with others, and the courage required to stand on the starting line of a cross country race. We also enjoy Jackassing around with The Blind Donkey Runner. Don’t miss this! Get your official at our store! Outro music by Become a basic licker.

324: Not Dropping is No Accident with Mount To Coast’s Lin Zhuo
Let’s talk about dropping. When we drop something it’s like we are forgetting to hold on. We sign up for the 100k and sometimes want to drop to a 50 mile. And some times we help each other pause for a moment and remember why we do what we do and we avoid dropping .(Now the tricky part) Sometimes we decide to pause and not drop any more and others remind us that perhaps it’s time to take a deeper look and drop a new episode of The . We are glad to be back! We talk about all the fun and crazy shit that happens on the trails and in our lives that most people don't care about or wont talk about.

323: Cultra's Final Episode?
Life is constantly changing and we are all very different people than we were 6 or 7 years ago, and right now it feels like its time to take a break, continue to seek professional help, and decide whats next. So for now, we are hitting pause (paws), but before we go, lets use this episode to take a look back, just in case this turns out to be our final episode. This podcast started as a wild idea among friends—a way to celebrate the absurdity, struggle, and joy of ultra running in a way that was raw and explicit like the trails we run on. What I didn’t expect was how deeply it would resonate, how it would grow into a community, and how much it would mean to me (and to all of us) over the years. The inside jokes, the live shows, the interviews, the ridiculous tangents and jackassing around that somehow always made sense in the end—it’s all been a blast. Phast Phred, Evil Becky, Jimmy Mac, and Celeste Fong-a-Ding-Dong—you’ve given me (AFB) so much, and I can’t thank you enough for that gift. Most of all, I want to thank you. Your support—whether financial or just by showing up and listening—has made this journey possible. You’ve fueled countless hours of storytelling, laughter, and the occasional moment of wisdom. We loved butchering your names and making you Podcast Famous. You’ve been the lifeblood of this weird, wonderful family that understands the beauty of suffering through 112 miles in the woods and somehow still wanting more. I don’t know what’s next. Maybe Cultra returns in some new form down the road, maybe not. But one thing is certain: the friendships and community we’ve built aren’t going anywhere. We’ll still be out there—running, crewing, racing, pacing, and laughing at the sheer madness of it all. And I hope to see you out there, too. So, for now, this is a pause—not necessarily a goodbye. Keep running, seek professional help, and we’ll see you all in a mile… mile and a half. Love you guys, AFB Get your official at our store! Outro music by If we start up again...

319: New Trail Runner’s Guide (Northeast Edition)
319: New Trail Runner’s Guide (Northeast Edition) Are you a road runner looking to start trail running, a hiker intent on picking up your pace, or an experienced trail running veteran who is curious to see if you could pick up a new idea? This episode covers the Trail Running Basics, the Northeast Regional specifics, trail etiquette and safety, training & fitness and even gives some pro tips on pooping in the woods. Trail Running basics answers the questions of what gear do I need to start trail running, how to find out where to run, what the differences are from road running, how to choose between road shoes and trail shoes, and what are some of the essential items you should consider carrying on a trail run. We cover some of the Northeast Regional specifics of running on these explicit and raw trails and mention a few of the most iconic spots to run in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maine. (Although we don’t offer any Gator safety tips) In trail etiquette & safety we discuss concepts and strategies of basic navigational safety such as “The Playpen”. What to do if you encounter a bear, rattlesnake, or perhaps the greatest threat, the dreaded tick. What are the best colors to wear or avoid, like “don’t shoot me orange” or “hi I’m a deer’s ass white”. We also talk briefly about training and fitness and how to deal with hills, and the many ways of connecting with the trail community and many of the trail running clubs in the Northeast. Then we talk shit! What are the best seasons to poop, where, when, how? What are the name brand leaves to seek out, and so much more than you ever wanted to know. Get your official at our store!

They reminisce about past experiences at races like getting medals shaped like pineapples. The conversation then turns to cigarettes, with Jimmy expressing disdain for menthol cigarettes.

314 The Mesh Penis Fiasco Unveiled
The Mesh Penis Fiasco unveiled! If you wanted any running content, then this is not the episode you are looking for. But if for no logical reason you are looking for some funny shit, followed by 90 minutes of drunken rambling inebriated babble, with very little nutritional, or educational value, then… whatever. I don’t know what to say, so here is what AI gleaned: The team discussed various topics including ultramarathons, aid stations,pickleball, and the Manchester Road Race, and discussed the TV coverage of the race, expressing disappointment with the lack of local expertise and knowledge of the course. The idea of providing their own commentary for the race was suggested, with a potential simulcast. The group jokes around and makes inappropriate comments, as usual. They joke about dealing with bears and having them in Christina's hot tub. The conversation becomes increasingly silly and nonsensical. Art mentions that last week's episode contained particularly explicit content that listeners should avoid. They also shared personal experiences and stories, including a humorous incident involving a "Mesh Penis Fiasco" during a run. The conversation ended with discussions on organizing unique race events, such as the "Cultra" and "drag January," and the possibility of incorporating beer drinking into these events.

They help you cope with stress, clear your mind, or even provide moments of joy. However, they aren't a structured, professional approach to addressing underlying psychological issues. Therapy, on the other hand, is a formal process led by a trained professional, like a therapist or counselor. It involves specific techniques designed to help you understand and manage deep-rooted emotional or mental challenges. We remind ourselves that we don't have to choose one over the other. But Also...

Vin Capp from Happily Running joins Phred and Jimmy Mac (sans AFB and Ding Dong) and they hardly discuss , , , or . They do get into a great riff on self reliance, Phish, and the Olympics. Phred speaks so much, and so well in this episode that Cultra management has allegedly insisted on a urine sample. The greatness of this episode cannot be denied, but will be questioned in perpetuity due to the cloudy test results. Basically three dudes talking shit about the man, and occupying a groovy space on the matrix known as Cultra. Get your official at our store! Outro music by Become a basic licker.

Lila was the ME XC high school champion as a Sophomore and Junior then stepped away from XC in order to choose a longer path in Ultra Running, and we are so glad she did! Don't miss it!
