| 5/1/26 | S8E9 -- UM Australia 2026 Race Preview with Jeff Morris & Tim Franklin | Send us Fan Mail 515 kilometers can sound like a number. In Noosa, it turns into three days of decisions: how you fuel a 10 km ocean swim, how you survive a 276 km bike loop through the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and how you keep moving when the double marathon starts to ask harder questions than your training ever did. We’re joined by Ultraman Australia race director Jeff Morris and KOA endurance coach and event MC Tim Franklin to preview Ultraman Australia 2026 from the ground up. We lay o... | 2h 13m 59s | ||||||
| 4/8/26 | S8E8 -- UB515 Race Preview (2026) with Alex Luna | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we travel to Ubatuba, Brazil, to catch up with Alex Luna, one of the driving forces behind the UB515 ultra triathlon. As the race enters its 13th year, Alex shares the origin story of how a small group of legends—including Alexandre Ribeiro and Corey Folk—brought the Ultraman distance to Brazil. We dive deep into the "Aloha" spirit that defines the event and discuss the logistical and emotional preparation for the 43 athletes set to take on the 515km challeng... | 1h 19m 27s | ||||||
| 3/20/26 | S8E7 -- UMOZ + UMNZ Athlete in Proflie | Brittney Litton | Send us Fan Mail You can learn a lot about an endurance athlete by what they avoid, and Brittney Litton avoids swimming. Then she signs up for Ultraman anyway, including a 10K swim, back-to-back monster bike days, and a double-marathon finish. Brittney joins us from New Zealand to talk about life as a working mom of two, a self-described “average” athlete with an anything-but-average appetite for big goals -- including wanting to set a new women's record time. Racing lessons land hardest in t... | 1h 06m 45s | ||||||
| 2/27/26 | S8E6 -- Ohana Guest | Peter Hudson | Send us Fan Mail Start with a last-minute sprint tri in footy shorts and end with a finish line that feels like family—that’s the arc of Peter “Huddo” Hudson. We sit down with the four-time 515 finisher, personal trainer, and stalwart of the UM Australia Dream Team to unpack how a brutal first swim, a life-changing crash in Hawaii, and years of volunteering forged a deeper reason to race. What emerges is a raw, generous look at the culture that defines Ultraman: you arrive as strangers, you l... | 1h 06m 24s | ||||||
| 2/6/26 | S8E5 -- UM Australia Athlete in Profile | Matthew O’Brien | Send us Fan Mail A flipped boat, a blinking EPIRB, and a helicopter descent into a sunset—Matt O’Brien’s life pivot starts there. From mining shifts and weekend benders to air rescue work, and a growing list of endurance adventures; Matt’s story is a blueprint for rebuilding a life around endurance and purpose. We unpack how he cracked into rescue aviation by cold-messaging mentors on LinkedIn, tackled a fitness test he once thought impossible, and learned to swim from scratch as an adult. Ma... | 56m 04s | ||||||
| 1/16/26 | S8E4 -- Beyond 515: Shanda Hill’s Ultra Triumphs And Farewell | Send us Fan Mail A world record in 225 hours. Stitches on a gym floor. A typhoon, a temple, and a white bucket that might save your race. I sat down with IUTA Hall of Famer, Shanda Hill, to unpack the mindset, methods, and meaning behind one of the most audacious ultra tri careers ever—and the moment she chose health over history. Shanda breaks down the true shape of a DECA continuous: 10x Iron distance where the clock never stops and every decision is magnified. She shares the practical sys... | 2h 15m 52s | ||||||
| 12/26/25 | S8E3 -- Ultraman World Champion 2025 | Max Kniazev | Send us Fan Mail A champion’s story doesn’t start at the finish line. Fresh off winning Ultraman Hawaii, Max Kniazev opens up about rebuilding from a collarbone ligament rupture, balancing newborn-dad life, and crafting a pragmatic plan to race smarter in heat and wind. We get into the mechanics of durability: how a naturally low heart rate at high power shapes his ultra identity, why shorter cranks opened his hip and cut drag, and how a custom 3D-printed cockpit with rear-aligned bottles sha... | 1h 16m 23s | ||||||
| 12/5/25 | S8E2 -- UM Australia Athlete in Profile | Erica Riley | Send us Fan Mail What does it take to chase Ultraman while working 12-hour shifts in emergency care? We sit down with Erica Riley—critical care nurse, coach, and multi-time ultradistance triathlete—to unpack the systems, habits, and mindset that make high performance sustainable in a busy life. From 3 a.m. Zwift rides to meticulous time boxing, she shows exactly how to build consistency without sacrificing your health, your job, or your relationships. Erica takes us inside the toughest ... | 54m 10s | ||||||
| 11/14/25 | S8E1 -- “The One and Only” Marius Butuc (Trans Sweden Triathlon’s Only Racer) | Send us Fan Mail What if the most important finish line has nothing to do with a podium? We sit down with Romanian ultra-triathlete Marius Butuc, a self-taught swimmer who learned by watching the next lane and never stopped moving forward. From the Ironman icons of Europe to the brutal circuits of ultra-triathlon, Marius shows how resilience, curiosity, and honest self-assessment can take you places training plans can’t. If you’ve wondered what truly makes triple Iron, quintuple, and deca fo... | 1h 17m 00s | ||||||

A brand reorganized. We trace the real timeline behind the Ultraman Florida shake-up—starting with a handlebar-mounted, voice-activated camera and ending with revoked licenses, refund confusion, and a newly relaunched qualifier under different leadership.

From a 10-loop open-water swim to a punchy run that climbs late and drops into a party finish. The field is stacked and global: Mexico, the United States, Spain, Colombia, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Argentina. You’l... | 46m 34s | ||||||

For Acyr Da Luz, it wasn't a missed promotion that defined him—it was his response to it. "I'm going to change myself," he declared, setting in motion a transformation from 120kg corporate executive to four-time Ultraman competitor. What distinguishes Acyr's story is how he integrated family into his endurance journey. His young daughter biked alongside his early training runs and eventually his entire family became hi... | 1h 35m 04s | ||||||
