Welcome to Flagstaff Bound, a special series from the Distance to Empty Podcast, hosted by 3-time Cocodona finisher Kevin Goldberg and 1-time Cocodona finisher Peter Noyes. This series explores the journeys, training, and motivations of runners gearing up for the 2025 Cocodona 250, offering a deep dive into the world of endurance trail running.

In this episode, we chat with Kyla Maher, a first-time Cocodona 250 runner and Janji employee, as she takes on the challenge of stepping up to the 200+ mile distance for the first time. Kyla shares her journey into ultra-endurance racing, her motivation for tackling Cocodona, and how she’s preparing for the physical and mental demands of the race.
