In this episode of Run the Riot, we hang out with Cam Riddle, a passionate strength coach who's making a difference in the ultrarunning world—without running ultras himself! Cam brings years of experience from the private and collegiate strength and conditioning world and shares how he’s now applying his knowledge to help ultrarunners build stronger, more resilient bodies. We first met Cam while he was crewing ultrarunner Angela Smith at the Prairie Spirit 100. From the jump, his excitement for the sport and love for people was evident. Cam talks about how he got involved in ultrarunning through an athlete he worked with previously and how that opened the door to coaching Angela Smith for her amazing 100-mile finish at the Prairie Spirit 100 in Kansas. Cam breaks down: Why ultrarunners need more than just miles—hello, glutes and core! His approach to balancing runcoaching with strength programming How individualized training can make or break race day performance What it’s like being on the sidelines of an ultra and watching grit in real time Lessons from crewing, cramping, and crawling (sometimes literally) Whether you're a new ultrarunner or a seasoned ultrarunning coach , you'll appreciate Cam's insight, humor, and heart for helping others succeed. This episode is all about community, compassion, and crushing goals.

In this episode of Run the Riot , we catch up with ultrarunner Suzan Brydon , who’s currently 19 days into a massive and meaningful mission—running over 1,920 miles across the American Discovery Trail as part of a community health initiative supported by her employer, The Cigna Group. This isn’t just a solo adventure—Suzan’s run is empowering young girls through Girls on the Run , raising awareness about rural health gaps, and bringing visibility to women ultrarunners tackling big goals. Suzan shares how she trained by completing the Southern States 200 , and how she prepared her body and mind for this endurance feat by leaning into the “mind over matter” philosophy. From mud-filled horse trails lovingly known as the "poop porridge" to peaceful Midwest farmland and iced lattes in small-town cafes, Suzan gives us a glimpse into her daily grind and what it takes to average 23 miles per day. She also talks about the mental and physical shifts that come with multi-week endurance, how she's fueling with real food (including entire pizzas!), and how the support of her husband/crew is keeping the journey rolling. Whether you’re an experienced ultrarunner or someone chasing your first big goal, Suzan’s story is a powerful reminder that limitless potential often starts with one brave step .

In this episode of Midweek Motivation, David gets real about the kind of training that doesn’t get likes on social media — the cold, quiet, ordinary miles. You know, the ones where you lace up before dawn, even when you're tired, sore, or just not feeling it. He reminds us why boring runs are the foundation of breakthrough performance and why ordinary effort, done consistently, is anything but small. David breaks down four powerful truths: Consistency builds capacity – showing up, even when it’s not glamorous, is where real growth happens. Boring runs train your mindset – mental endurance is forged in the quiet miles, not race-day hype. Small efforts compound over time – like compound interest, daily discipline adds up to massive long-term gains. Love the process, not just the finish line – fulfillment comes from the journey, not just the medal. He also shares insights from Atomic Habits and research from Strava and Frontiers in Psychology, plus a reminder from Galatians 6:9 to keep doing good — both in running and in life — because the harvest is coming.
