About this episode
What happens when you lose everything… and find yourself through distance?In this episode, I sit down live in Phoenix with Troy “Punisher” Croxdale— a man who:• Podiumed the Tahoe 200 in his FIRST 200 miler• Covered 10,000 miles in ONE year • Spent 293 days on trail• Survived grizzlies, wildfires, and 200-mile food carries• Then casually dropped 1,350 miles on the Tempe segment during Burrito LeagueThis one is raw.Troy opens up about losing his father…How running saved his life from addiction…Why thru-hiking changes you differently than racing…And what it’s like to run 80 miles on Day 1 just because you felt like it.We talk about:• How he went from 1 mile… to a 1:37 half marathon… in months• Why 200 milers feel “short” after thru-hiking for 293 days• The mental battle of having 4,500 miles still to go• How he fueled 40 miles on two pieces of toast• What really happens to your body when you live outside for a year• Why simplicity beats “more”• And what keeps him coming back to the segmentIf you’ve ever felt stuck…If you’ve ever needed a reset…If you’ve ever wondered how far you’re actually capable of going…This one will hit.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?
