This week on the I Don't Know Running Podcast, we're diving deep into one of the most epic ultramarathons out there — the Cocodona 250. From record-breaking performances to wild weather swings and strategic 10-minute trail naps, this race has it all.

We cover:
🏔️ What makes this 250+ mile race so iconic
🏃 Course record highlights from Dan Green and Rachel Entin
🌩️ The impact of Arizona’s unpredictable weather
💤 Sleep strategy hacks during multi-day ultras
❌ Courtney Dauwalter’s shocking DNF
🚫 Lewis’ unfortunate pest control salesman incident 😬

Plus: We’ll talk live tracking drama, race logistics, and what makes this point-to-point race from Black Canyon to Flagstaff so compelling. If you’ve ever thought about tackling a 200-miler (or watching from the couch), this is the episode for you!

This week on I Don’t Know Running, Lewis admits he's a lazy ultrarunner with lunch money and Mitch just wants better coffee. But don’t worry—we eventually get to the topic: staying consistent with your running!

We break down the real reasons why consistency matters, how it affects your physical, mental, and emotional health, and how to overcome the common motivation killers like bad weather, family schedules, and that comfy couch. Plus, strategies that actually work—from setting realistic goals and tracking progress to embracing variety and finding your "why."
