- Max is back on the Everyday Ultra Podcast—and this time, he’s coming off one of the most jaw-dropping performances in ultrarunning history. After setbacks, DNFs, and plenty of people questioning what he was capable of, Max finally put all the pieces together at Badwater 135. The real story isn’t just what happened on race day. It’s everything that went into making that performance possible.
Behind betting on yourself, the training changes that helped unlock another level, and what it takes to stay patient when a race feels like it’s falling apart. From brutal heat preparation and ultra-specific training to race strategy, consistency, and digging deeper than you thought possible.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why your biggest setback might not say anything about your actual potential
• How intentional training can transform an already-strong athlete
• What serious heat training can actually look like
• Why patience can be your biggest weapon on race day
• How to stay locked into your plan when everything feels wrong
• How to use doubt as fuel
• Why celebrating your wins matters just as much as learning from your failures

Free Supplement Guide for Ultrarunners: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mhp3vKx1uJPU1-i9F03BVzZdDRiUHCk85HF7pjthoVM/edit?usp=sharing - I ran the Badwater 135 this past week, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done.
The mental battles I faced out there were unlike any other; combine that with fatigue coming off racing Western States 100 one month prior, 120+ degree temps, and tons of climbing, this was a battle.
In this episode, we go through the play-by-play of the whole race, along with tips, strategies, and lessons to help you overcome any challenge you face in an ultramarathon.
Q&A portion will be released tomorrow in a separate episode!
