| 5/3/26 | Efficient Gear and Movement in Technical Mountains | This week, I’m breaking down everything I think about when it comes to moving efficiently in the rugged Northeast mountains during summer. Shoes, gear, strategies & more. If you don't listen, it could be summed up simply as: don’t ever stop moving, bring the lightest gear (safely) possible & don’t fight the trails and its many obstacles, just keep moving forward relentlessly and as unphased as you can.First I go through shoe choice. I like a shoe with great grip, big lugs, light as possible, and cushion and stack height that vary by distance: low stack and minimal cush for short uphill, low stack and medium cush for short up down, medium stack to a lot of cush for ultra distance.Then, I go through all my gear and tricks to bring the essentials while staying lightweight. This is not a safety talk, this is an efficiency talk! Linking the NH hike safe 10 essentials in the episode! I discuss a few debatable topics:Pack vs beltPoles vs. no polesRunning vs. hiking inclines. Give it a listen and learn and maybe you can add something to your kit. Drop any good gear hacks in the comments. Always looking to upgrade my own kit.NH HIKE SAFETY INFORMATION:https://www.wildlife.nh.gov/get-outside/hiking-safetyYOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksTRAINING & NUTRITION INFOhttps://substack.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coachingFOLLOWInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588592565447TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@runmountainpeaksThreads: https://www.threads.com/@runmountainpeaks?hl=enX: https://x.com/runmtnpeaks#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 4/26/26 | 6 Months of Podcasting as a New Creator | This week, I dive into how the podcast came to be, lessons learned through 6 months, and how I feel being a content creator. Two years ago, I had zero social media presence, no TV, no laptop & no wifi. Now I’m posting a weekly podcast and posting on multiple social media platforms almost daily. The transition was gnarly and I talk about all the growing pains and why doing a podcast is so much harder than I thought. I also got my first full fledged hate message and I break that down lolI talk about the spectrum of professional athletes/trail running and content creators. I think they are actually doing the same thing in a sense. And embracing the two together isn’t a bad thing at all for most people.Lastly, I discuss my thoughts on the Northeast trail scene and why this region can get overlooked by some people, brands and the media in general.Give it a listen.YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksTRAINING & NUTRITION INFOhttps://substack.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coachingFOLLOWInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588592565447TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@runmountainpeaksThreads: https://www.threads.com/@runmountainpeaks?hl=enX: https://x.com/runmtnpeaks#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 4/19/26 | Joe Palisi | First Northeast Ultra 8 Gold Skyrunner | This week I interviewed Joe Palisi. He is a runner, hiker, climber and skier and this March became the first person to finish the Northeast Ultra 8 Gold Skyrunner Challenge. Joe completed the Presi Traverse, Pemi Loop, Mahoosuc Traverse, Devil’s Path, Great Range Traverse, Taconic Crest Traverse, Saranac 6 & Cranberry 50 in both summer and winter all under strict time limits. These are eight of the toughest single day routes in the northeast and he had some crazy and epic stories getting this project done. He’s a great athlete, strong runner & hiker and a good dude.I ended the episode with a discussion on trail conditions and trail season, race results and race previews, and a bit of a deep dive into some “dream talk”.Give it a listen.HOW TO FIND JOE:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/joe.palisi/STRAVA: https://strava.app.link/Q8ZAnr0ar2bYOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksTRAINING & NUTRITION INFOhttps://substack.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coachingFOLLOWInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588592565447TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@runmountainpeaksThreads: https://www.threads.com/@runmountainpeaks?hl=enX: https://x.com/runmtnpeaks#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 4/12/26 | Setbacks & Uncertainty in Running, White Dot Crown, FKTs - Ep.31 | This week’s episode is an unplanned deep dive into setbacks and the uncertainty of training & running goals. I was gearing up for an FKT attempt, but an untimely ankle roll on my bad ankle that just got good, changed my plans and gave me some flashbacks of my long recovery this fall/winter. Luckily, it wasn’t bad at all and should be fine in the near future. I still wanted to get an effort in so I decided to give an uphill only push to limit the impact on the ankle. I landed on a time trial up North Uncanoonuc and tied for the overall crown on a stacked leaderboard. I gave some thoughts and take aways on the effort. I also threw in some last minute thoughts on the latest season of Love on the Spectrum (with a couple more follow up points to come), plus race previews and recaps from the New England ultra scene.Give it a listen.YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksTRAINING & NUTRITION INFOhttps://substack.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coachingFOLLOWInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588592565447TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@runmountainpeaksThreads: https://www.threads.com/@runmountainpeaks?hl=enX: https://x.com/runmtnpeaks#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 4/5/26 | Endurance for Mountain Running & Ultramarathons, Runamuck 50k Preview - Ep.30 | This week I talked through the essentials in my training and coaching philosophy for mountain running and ultra running. I think there is so much information out there, quick hacks, new research, supplements, etc. that it is hard to know what to focus on and what is worth it. But I truly believe that endurance training fundamentals along with unwavering consistency is where all the gains are actually made. I talk through everything and give personal insights on how I've used it myself to become stronger in the mountains. If you don’t believe me, here’s what one of my close buddies has to say about it:“Reality is that 99% of our capacity comes from the BASIC and INDIVIDUAL boring and unexciting training.” - Kilian Jornet, January 2026, Trail Running 2026, where are we, where are we going.Also, one resource that really helped me when I started seriously training 4 or 5 years ago was the book Training for the Uphill Athlete by Scott Johnston. For anyone looking to train themselves I highly recommend reading it through and then building from there with more recent research and strategies. For a long time I slept with it on my tote box nightstand lol. Lastly, maybe I am delusional about my own goals, but one thing that I think a lot of people underestimate is their own potential. I think the best of the best have just been working WAY harder and WAY longer than the rest. How many YEARS are you willing to put in to achieve your goals? (Running, hiking or other goals).OKAY that got a little out of hand but maybe not. After the training talk I give you a slightly dramatic story about me accidentally throwing a water bottle at somebody the first day at my new gym. Did a Runamuck 50k preview. Big hype for this race. It's back after two years and some sluggers have signed up. Then I wrap up with a couple more quick race previews and some results.YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksTRAINING & NUTRITION INFOhttps://substack.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coachingFOLLOWInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588592565447TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@runmountainpeaksThreads: https://www.threads.com/@runmountainpeaks?hl=enX: https://x.com/runmtnpeaks#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 3/29/26 | Conor Brown | The Man Who Beat Mt. Ascutney - Ep.29 | This week I sat down with Conor Brown. He is a hiker and trail runner that has accomplished some pretty mind blowing feats over the past few years. He was the finisher at the inaugural Mt. Ascutney Vertical Backyard Ultra, hiking over 200 miles and 108k ft of climbing in a single push over four days. He set records for most summits in 24 hours on his home mountains North Ucanoonuc and South Uncanoonuc (48 & 58 respectively). He thru hiked the Appalachian Trail. Had an impressive win at the well known Manchester to Monadnock ultramarathon and a blazing time at the Jigger Johnson 50 miler. He’s young, he’s tough and he’s fast. We talked about how he got started with all this madness and touched on most of his big efforts. Give it a listen.HOW TO FIND CONOR:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/conorbrwn/STRAVA: https://strava.app.link/jwlLR9yWZHbYOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksTRAINING & NUTRITION INFOhttps://substack.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coachingFOLLOWInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588592565447TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@runmountainpeaksThreads: https://www.threads.com/@runmountainpeaks?hl=enX: https://x.com/runmtnpeaks#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 3/22/26 | NH Spring Trail Running Playbook, Uphill Will Skimo 24Hr & Sleeping Giant Ultra Preview - Ep.28 | This week I give my New Hampshire spring trail & mountain running playbook. Dirt, rocks and roots are here, you just gotta go find them. Spring shoulder season in the White Mountains is full of postholes, rapidly changing trail conditions and other surprises. I usually take this time to check out a handful of other mountain gems in the region, of which there are many. Some of these are very popular, some of these are more off the beaten path. All awesome trails. Lots of dirt in my future, spring is almost here and I’m getting stoked.I finish the episode off with some race talk. Trustrength Uphill Will 24 hr and F.I.T. Trail races went down last weekend. And next weekend is “one of the toughest, gnarliest races in the Northeast!”, the Sleeping Giant Trail Runs. I share my research and thoughts. Lots of crushers on the entrants list.INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksTRAINING & NUTRITION INFOhttps://substack.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coaching#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 3/15/26 | 4:50min/mi GAP up a Small Mountain, Running Injuries, Race Updates - Ep.27 | This week I'm diving into a recent time trial effort I did on my local peak. I ran the same 1 mile route (510ft of climbing) twice in the span of five days. The first effort was at a 7:37min/mi pace, but during the second effort, I was able to knock off almost 30 seconds and run a 7:08min/mi pace (4:50min/mi grade adjusted pace). Obviously, I didn’t gain a ton of fitness in those five days, so I talk through some of the “race” day execution that let me run faster and be mentally stronger in the red. Short, fast road efforts are not my strong suit, but I think there is a lot of value in getting out of your comfort zone. I plan on mixing more of these efforts in between my ultramarathons.Then, I talk about my injury history. I’ve dealt with so many different running injuries over the last handful of years. I discuss the two major injuries that have taken the most time to come back from: bone stress injuries in my shins & ankle pain that became problematic due to a 10 year old injury that left my ankle not quite fully functional. I finish up with a look at the race calendar, including results from the BURCS Satan’s Sidewalk virtual race from February and a preview of some events coming up in Rhode Island, Maine, and Massachusetts. Give it a listen.INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksTRAINING & NUTRITION INFOhttps://substack.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coaching#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 3/8/26 | Ryan Fournier | AT Thru Hike, Pemi Loop, Half Marathon Drama - Ep.26 | This week I sat down with Ryan Fournier. He is a friend and a road & trail crusher. He started road running a handful of years ago and after thru hiking the AT in 2024, has thrown down some amazing efforts. Everything from short road to long trail. Big range. 50 miles in 6hr 58m, Sub 16min 5k, 6:39 Pemi loop, Boott Spur throwdown, etc. He was slated to PR the half marathon this March but unfortunately the race was cancelled and he is too fast for 2026 (YMCA) treadmill technology. We talked about the half marathon drama, his background, and some training stuff.

| 3/1/26 | Maine & Moosehead Lake, Extreme Activites, Tracking Sleep, Favorite Chips - Ep.25 | Lots of topics this week. I talk about some of my time spent living and getting outdoors in Maine. My annual trip to Moosehead Lake and how cool of a region it is up there. The view from under Mt. Kineo rock face being undefeated. I talked through and ranked each of the extreme activities I have done: white water rafting, parasailing, zip lining, sky diving. Some quick Hundred Mile Wilderness talk. Tracking my sleep and how I am trying to improve my sleep and recovery. I give out my top 3 favorite chips of all time. And end with some motivation.INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coaching#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||

| 2/22/26 | Winning 50 Mile Kilkenny Ridge Race 2024 - Ep.24 | This week I tell the story of my first place finish at the 2024 Kilkenny Ridge Race. A great effort for me and had a few learning lessons for next time. Potentially looking at running that race again this year. Then I talked about Marathon Sports buying Six03 trail races and the $100,000 of prize money they are putting on New Hampshire trail races. Gave my quick thoughts on the Lincoln Woods trail closure for most of 2026 as well as my Black Canyons 100k reaction. What a lineup at that race. And finally we have another virtual race this month from BURCS, the Satan’s Sidewalk 66.66K / 66.66 Hour Virtual Races. Do you believe in bad juju?

| 2/15/26 | 20+ Year Pro Triathlete John Hirsch, Last Skier Standing 2026 Reaction - Ep.23 | This week I got to interview John Hirsch. John raced triathlons as a pro for over 20 years. He collected four Top 10 Pro Ironman finishes and competed at the notorious Kona Ironman World Championships. He had a ton of cool stories and great insights into triathlon and endurance training. Outside of triathlons he competed in trail races, grabbing three wins at the Spartan Ultra Beast Masters World Championships. Oh and he also still rips on trail, he was one of the only finishers at the @spartan Peak Snow Devil Snowshoe race from this January. A brutal winter race (snow shoes required) with cut offs that DNF most participants. He gave us the scoop into those races. Give it a listen.Before the interview, I gave my quick Last Skier Standing 2026 reaction. An epic throw down per usual. I ended the episode with some race results from the TARCtic Frozen Yeti 30 Hour and 15 Mile, BURCS Treadmill Marathon & Frozen Folly Virtual 50k and the new Mount Monadnock Heartbreaker race. I was actually on course for this race getting some Monadnock summits in for myself so got to see some crushers first hand. Threw in a trail report for White Arrow and White Dot as well (very good conditions).HOW TO FIND JOHN:INSTAGRAM: @thedeerrunnerFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/john.hirsch.75STRONG LIKE BULL FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/stronglikebullcampsJOHN HIRSCH COACHING: https://www.stronglikebulltraining.com/coaching 0:00 Intro3:55 Last Skier Standing 2026 Reaction11:40 John Hirsch Interview1:47:23 TARCtic Frozen Yeti 30 Hour and 15 Mile Results1:49:15 BURCS Treadmill Marathon & Frozen Folly Virtual 50K Results1:52:55 Mount Monadnock Trail Report 2.14.261:54:05 Mount Monadnock Heartbreaker Race ResultsINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coaching#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 2/8/26 | Winter Trail Running Gear Kit for Cold Temps - Ep.22 | This week I go through my entire gear kit for winter trail running and hiking. Literally took everything out of my bins and went through it. Not so much a brand talk but more of what items I bring with me and all my tips and tricks I've learned over them years to make them useful and efficient. Everyone has thier own system and kit that works them but hopefully you can take away at least one thing to upgrade your kit. If you have any good tips I missed let me know. Threw in some tongue twisters at the end. Say red leather yellow leather five times fast.NH HIKE SAFE INFORMATION & TEN ESSENTIALShttps://www.wildlife.nh.gov/get-outside/hiking-safety0:00 Intro3:40 Training tip5:40 Gear bins for today7:30 Gear I bring on most runs10:20 Keeping your hand warm and glove layering 16:00 My favorite piece of gear17:50 Safety gear for every run - mountains or local runs20:20 How to keep your water liquid25:30 What packs I use in the winter29:00 Winter footwear and traction35:30 Winter clothing layers47:00 Extra gear I rarely use56:00 Tongue twisters59:30 OutroINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksFREE ENDURANCE TRAINING GUIDEhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/run-coaching#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 2/1/26 | Ranking the NH 4,000 Footers, Last Skier Standing & TARCtic Frozen Yeti Preview - Ep.21 | This week I ranked the NH 48 4,000 footers from my least favorite to my top pick. There is only one hike I actually dislike. Lots of tough decisions had to be made. I will not second guess my decisions. Then did a preview for the upcoming Last Skier Standing race by White Mountain Ski Company that starts next weekend. That race usually goes for days and lots of heavy hitters on the entrants list. Previewed the TARCtic Frozen Yeti 30 Hour & 15 Mile races next week. Another frozen bonanza. Trailmixers Frozen Heart 900 CT also takes place next weekend. A free 15 hour self supported style ultra. All three of these races are in their seventh year which I thought was quite interesting. 7 years ago everyone had the same idea of starting these long distance, brutally cold ultra events? Hmm. Went through the Last NORIDC Skier standing results also by White Mountain Ski Company that took place this weekend. Smaller race, but looked like it was just as gnarly, especially with the sub 0 temps the past two days. Lastly, I did a trip report from my run on Pierce & Eisenhower. Awesome day. Stunner views.

| 1/25/26 | Ultrarunning Recovery Heirarchy, Deer Hunting FAQs, Snowstorm, Patriots, Sledding - Ep. 20 | This week I talk through my hierarchy of ultrarunning recovery tips. If you are increasing your training for the new year, you should also be increasing your focus on recovery. None of the top four items have to do with “recovery” products or supplements. I go through some deer hunting FAQs I get asked a lot to try and educate all public land recreation users. I messed up my one grid fact from last week's episode. Brutal. At least I owned up to it.

| 1/18/26 | Grid Finisher Andrea Wojciak | All Things White Mountains, Hiking Lists, and Crewing Ultras - Ep.19 | This week I sat down with my own mother who is quite the accomplished hiker. She is a Grid finisher, and has completed several hiking lists in New England including the 100 Highest, 67 4000 Footers, 52 With a View, Terrifying 25, and is in the middle of a Single Season Winter 48. We discussed all of these accomplishments and the trails and peaks associated with them. She gave some tips about things she has learned over the years and resources she still uses to plan her hikes today. We talked about a few under the radar hikes. And we went through her experience crewing me through a handful of my ultramarathon efforts over the years and some stories and lessons learned from those.I talked about my new microphone debacle and thinking my crappy laptop computer audio was the new professional mic for two straight hours and having a breakdown with Gemini trying to figure it out.

Winter conditions rock right now and you should get on the trails while they are good. I go through my biggest training lessons learned from 2025. It was a great year for me but it did not all go how I planned and instead I adjusted and looking at it as building a bigger base for all things running.

| 12/21/25 | Best 2025 White Mountain National Forest FKTs - Ep. 15 | This week I go through each of the 48 new FKTs in the White Mountain National Forest that were established in 2025 and discuss some of the best and most competitive times. The trails in the northeast are gnarly and the racing scene is getting more and more competitive each year. You have to be fast, tough and good on steep, technical terrain to go after these times. 00:00 Intro04:52 Dirritisema FKT14:30 White Mountains 100 FKT17:50 White Mountains Double 100 Out & Back FKT19:15 NH AT FKT20:30 Flume and Liberty Loop FKT22:00 Mahoosuc Traverse FKT23:40 Lodge2dodge FKT24:50 Pemidential FKT26:15 Mt Hancock Loop FKT27:40 Swan Song FKT30:20 Grafton Loop FKT31:20 Double Pemi FKT33:20 Isolation FKT33:50 Bald Peak and Artists Bluff FKT35:45 Evans Notch Loop FKT36:20 Carter Moriah Traverse Picnic FKT37:25 Cannon and Kinsmans Loop FKT38:05 Super Pemi FKT38:25 Twins Bonds Traverse FKT38:50 Carter Moriah Traverse Out and Back FKT39:40 Eastern Peaks of Conway FKT40:15 Owls Head FKT40:50 Tilted Compass FKT42:55 Easter White Mountains Triple Infinity Loop FKT43:40 Mahoosuc Out-and-back FKT43:50 Desolation Loop FKT44:10 Not a Pemi Loop but a Loop in the Pemi FKT45:10 Mahoosuc Picnic FKT46:00 Cannon Round Trip FKT46:30 Hale FKT50: 20 Flume and Liberty Loop FKT50:55 Slippery Brook - Baldface Loop FKT51:15 Cohos Trail FKT51:55 Appalachian Trail FKT54:20 OutroINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksRUN COACHINGhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
| 12/14/25 | Presi Traverse Reflection, WMNF Christmas Tree, Stranger Things, TARC Winter Fells - Ep.14 | Run Mountain Peaks Podcast – Episode 14Discuss Ryan and I getting dominated by snow on the Osceolas (12/13 trip report). Recapped TARC winter fells 8, 32, and 40 mile results. Talked about my first winter Presi traverse 5 years ago and how I thought the Adams five peaks was actually Adams, Jefferson, Clay, Washington and the rest of Presi Traverse was going to be a piece of cake (wrong). Cutting down your own Christmas tree in the Whites seems fun and easy until you realize you are probably going to end up with a skimpy tree unless you really work for it. Fantasy football blues: fifth in the league in points scored but missing the playoffs. I'm on season 3 of Stranger Things and the bad guy is back somehow and Dustin, the hair guy, and the new girl just cracked the Russian code. Little motivation at the end.00:00 Intro & Osceola's trip report8:02 Mac n cheese update12:15 TARC Winter Fells 8 mile, 32 mile, 40 mile results22:05 First winter Presidential Traverse story31:54 Cutting down a Christmas tree in the Whites42:15 Fantasy football blues46:15 Stranger things update55:35 Motivation minute and outro INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/runmountainpeaks/YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@runmountainpeaksRUN COACHINGhttps://www.runmountainpeaks.com/#TrailRunning #Mountains #WhiteMountainNationalForest | — | ||||||
