Cultra Trail Running
Our weekly podcast shares the unique perspective of the North East, Beast Coast Ultra running scene: raw, impulsive, and irreverent. The Cultra Trail Running Podcast is a place where we can get together and discuss all the fun stuff that happens on the trails that most normal people don't care about. Join the Cult! or maybe you already have without realizing it... resistance is futile.
308: Barkley Fall Classic with Lenny’s Mom Jenna Gould
Lenny’s Mom (Jenna Gould) gives a first hand perspective of what it was like to run and finish the 2024 Barkley Fall Classic! Be prepared to cry as you laugh at the absurd stories of Rat Jaw, Testicle Spectacle, and so much more. She shares details of her exploits in the Chattenooga trail scene after leaving CT. Jenna keeps up with the Crew as this "dog mom" is fast on the trails and quick witted too.

307: Camille Herron and Cultra's Second Biggest Argument Ever
Not as big as the fight between Evil Becky and Hundo discussing Vermont 100, but this episode gets AFB fired up enough that he hardly lets anyone else speak as he defends Camille and attempts to slay the would be cancel dragons of social media. Honestly hard to watch this happen within our ranks and makes us wonder if the doling of punishment is more harmful to the community than the original allegedly unpardonable sin.

304: Ask us Anything about Musical Trail Therapy
Ask us anything and we will Jackass around, but also... provide a explicit and raw unfiltered answer. Trail running or listening to music—can provide comfort, relief, or a sense of well-being. They help you cope with stress, clear your mind, or even provide moments of joy. However, they aren't a structured, professional approach to addressing underlying psychological issues.
Therapy, on the other hand, is a formal process led by a trained professional, like a therapist or counselor. It involves specific techniques designed to help you understand and manage deep-rooted emotional or mental challenges.
We re...

Well, we’re fighting boredom, and this is a 112% Grade A Bonafide Fresh Jackass episode where we go all in on the Patreons as well.

302 How to Run Hundreds of 100s with The Jester
What does it take to run 100 miles 100 times? How about doing this 300 times? Ed Eddinghausen aka "The Jester" has run distances of 100 miles nearly 300 times and is seeking to break the record for the most 100 mile runs completed in one year. Many of us seek to work out our personal issues as we run. Some fight this battle internally and others seek to make a connection with fellow runners as our defenses are stripped away. The Jester shares his practice of helping others overcome obstacles during his runs as a mutually beneficial way of life that improves everyone’s stat...
301: Vin Capp Happily Running and Trail Phishing with Jimmy and Phred
Vin Capp from Happily Running joins Phred and Jimmy Mac (sans AFB and Ding Dong) and they hardly discuss Tesla Hertz Run, Beast of Burden, Shore 2 Shore, Water Gap 50k or Virgil Crest. They do get into a great riff on self reliance, Phish, and the Olympics. Phred speaks so much, and so well in this episode that Cultra management has allegedly insisted on a urine sample. The greatness of this episode cannot be denied, but will be questioned in perpetuity due to the cloudy test results. Basically three dudes talking shit about the man, and occupying a groovy s...

299: Lila Gaudrault and Vermont 100
Delightful Maine ultra runner Lila Gaudrault joins us to tell how it felt to run 72 miles in 12 hours at Notchview, and a week later run her first ever 100 mile distance as she raced the Vemont 100 securing a tacit 2nd place photo finish. Lila was the ME XC high school champion as a Sophomore and Junior then stepped away from XC in order to choose a longer path in Ultra Running, and we are so glad she did! Don't miss it!
