# Everyday Ultra

Everyday Ultra is a trail and ultra running podcast hosted by Joe Corcione. Mix of guest interviews, how-to episodes with the show's coaches and solo episodes, usually 55 to 80 minutes, released about twice a week.

## What it is
A practical ultrarunning show built around how-to topics: fueling plans, fatigue, VO2 max work, mental tactics and race-specific guides. Interviews feature both well-known ultrarunners and everyday athletes coached by the show's team, often just after a first 50K or 100-miler. It is aimed at amateur ultrarunners who are training for their next longer race.

## Why listen
- Topic episodes on single problems, such as stomach issues, dead legs or building a nutrition and hydration plan.
- Race guides from the show's coaches, for example a Javelina Jundred episode on heat, terrain and aid stations.
- Interviews with record holders and race winners, such as backyard ultra record holder Phil Gore and Leadville 100 winner McKendree Hickory.
