In this first episode of my new vlog series on Singletrack, I’m kicking off the journey to the 2025 Cocodona 250 — one of the most competitive and iconic 200+ mile ultramarathons in the United States, hosted by Aravaipa Running.
I reflect on why I signed up for this beast of a race, what excites me about the competitive field this year, and what I need to change in training to truly show up ready. I also recap a huge breakthrough at the Antelope Island Buffalo Run 50 Miler, where I finished 2nd overall and ran under the longstanding course record held for 14 years by ultrarunning legend Dylan Bowman.
This series is for anyone interested in trail running, ultramarathon training, and the personal journey it takes to go the distance. Subscribe and follow along as I prepare physically, mentally, and emotionally to tackle 250+ miles through the Arizona desert in May 2025.

* Training for a 200 miler
