NO SURRENDER: I was invited to run across Timor Leste, which is one of Australia’s closest neighbours- to our North. It’s a small and slender country that’s been at war, on and off, for 500 years. With ten other runners from all over the world, and with a mix of local and Aussie guides, we ran 100km over 5000m of dusty, steep, coffee-laden country. We dossed down each night in guest houses or tents, ate whatever the locals had on offer and settled into life on the trail. Front of mind for much of the run was the trail itself, a path with a hell of a story; the story of La Rende! No Surrender!

Wes Cornett | Misfits, Rebels, Fever Dreams and Tacos

Wes Cornett was born in Hawkins, Indiana...well, maybe not Hawkins, but basically though. While still just a kid, a bad breakup and a love of cheap tacos lead him to the military. After a 20 year career that included deployments in Bosnia and Afghanistan, his military career left a wake of hard realities...the loss of his best friend, struggles with PTSD, anxiety, depression, sobriety and his mental health. Eventually though, he found his footing and a love for trail running and hiking. Even though some struggles continue, Wes is finding success, including a recent raffle ticket win to run the Western States Endurance Run (cuz hey, you can't spell Western States without "Wes"), and a tremendous accomplishment of publishing his first novel. Needless to say, this episode covers a lot of ground...we're talking like Tor Des Geants ground. So, get those comfy shoes, tape your toes and grab your poles, because we've got a lot to learn about Wes.

The Boys Are Back! In this post holiday, episode, the boys and I discuss everything from dogs to race plans to bathroom re-remodels. Get to know about our plans for races and training in 2026 (likely to change by the next episode LOL), and get to hear to story of precious Hoka, aka TT, Erik's beloved little furry friend who he recently had to say goodbye to. And I would be remiss not to acknowledge what is going on in my precious city of Minneapolis. I can only say thank you to everyone who has reached out to me...to us. These are my neighbors, my friends and my community that is so affected. We are strong, we will stand together, we will get there. But now, it's time for a little distraction and banter. Who knows, it might even have you digging for that old pair of Under Armour running shoes.

This film is the follow up film where the money has been raised and the trees get planted. A bunch of people, most of which I’ve never met, plant a bunch of trees.
