About this episode
Jake and Nick are back with one of the most loaded episodes yet. Jake signs up for Cocodona 250, Nick commits to Javelina 100, and the rivalry at the Zegama-Aizkorri Marathon between Filemon and Elhousine is heating up. They break down whether Jim Walmsley can hang with the Golden Trail elites and react to Hayden Hawks pulling out of Western States after knee surgery. There’s a deep dive into what makes a UTMB Major (with updates on Kodiak, Mammoth, and UTA vs. UTS), plus a side rant on NBA playoff injuries, load management, and whether the league’s product is broken. Jake also gets destroyed on a long run with some of Utah’s fastest, there’s another DCP riddle drop, and the Mammoth 200 gets officially approved with a stacked inaugural field. If you’re into ultra running, race strategy, or just want to laugh your way through some hot takes—this one’s for you.
