Really well done - such a nice podcast! You focus on all the right aspects, and Jeff knows how to explain stuff so well - really interesting to listen to!

The guy who needs to lose weight mentioned something about a cult-like following. I wouldn’t disagree. I hear what he’s saying, but he clearly doesn’t understand or take into consideration why many people end up taking this route. Guys like Mike are super fit and most certainly metabolically healthy & flexible . Most people who end up on super low carb diets or even carnivore are not. They do it to deal with decades of insulin resistance, obesity, diverticulitis, eczema, chronic fatigue, etc…problems traditional medicine had no answers to. I myself absolutely suffered with eczema that was debilitating for 53 years. I had it at birth. Try waking up 3 or 4 times a night for 53 years and see how that affects a person. That’s just one major issue that’s disappeared completely since I reduced my carb intake to less than 20 grams/day. It’s the end of the week and I got my 40 miles in. I’m on a 18-6 window, I run fasted and I’m not opposed to adding some more carbs as I continue to become metabolically healthy, but yea - I’m a little reluctant. Just not for the reason that made the fat guy chuckle and smirk.

Tayson, So glad I just discovered your podcast - all because I love Elina’s storytelling skills. You are both favourites of mine, a great 2 in 1 combo. ❤

That’s my favorite shirt of yours…. It’s easy to remember details of fewer items. Keeping things simple.

Thank you for sharing this with me Mason! It’s amazing how many 10 minute conversations have gotten me in quite the circumstances. The 10 minute conversation I had with Paul really turned things around for me too! Thanks Men! Civilized clothes, I hate them.

About to take my Lambo- sorry, my Skyline- out for its first test drive. This podcast is an excellent resource and queued me in to some awesome tips. Its so awesome that I can fit my lifestraw filter onto the OV flasks, huge win.

You mentioned sweat soaked clothes, have you guys tried mesh base layers? (Like brynje)

Thanks for the story, Tayson. Huge congrats. I’m surprised your quality as a pacer wasn’t mentioned. I know you mentioned the impact Jeff/pacing him had on you but, in hindsight, perhaps what you did for him in Moab is a little clearer. As a viewer of that movie (and this interview) I get the sense that you really thrive on helping others.

Great interview! Thanks guys!!!!

Why is there a “political” aspect to whether people do a 12-15 mile day vs a 20 mile a day? Even discounting physical capabilities isn’t it just a preference? Some people are more goal oriented and some want to savor the trail in a different way. If it doesn’t affect others then why would it be “political”. I know you’re just offering an option but that’s an odd and off putting framework. Yikes, hiking shouldn’t be so controversial. It shouldn’t be so high school cliquish with the UL vs comfort carriers. It really bothers me that it’s getting to where people judge others. If we want to get judgmental stick to judging people who make things worse for others or harm the environment or wildlife. That said even if I only do a 10-12 hour day because I want to linger at certain spots to take photographs or do artwork or yoga or whatever some of your tips make sense. I especially like starting early and then having dinner on the trail to enjoy the beautiful twilight and dawn hours. Those are my favorite times to be outside. Taking breaks every two hours definitely helps me go longer too. Go longer without feeling miserable and enjoying my time on the trail that is. Isn’t that the point.:)

Congrats, Tayson! Great interview.

Great interview! Jeff is an excellent interviewer - well done

I just ordered mine today!! Can not wait to take delivery of this when it arrives. I plan on using this pack as a training day pack on trails and on my treadmill as well as a 2-night 3-day pack for some training while I prepare for JMT next summer. I further plan on purchasing the CS40 as well for my main pack while on JMT an future longer hikes.

Ordered my yesterday! I’ve been asking for them for months….i still remember the open forum premier months ago when I asked about them and you said end of May. Nice to finally have them launch. Thanks!

Looking forward to using these on Kilimanjaro next month!

Placed order… Can’t wait to take them for a spin on the CT

Will there be a womens version?

The talk of wind pants makes me hope you do think about releasing some sort of 2oz or less option with ankle zips. But, more importantly.. when are we gonna see the OV Overmitts/Rain Mitts?? I need those!

Yes!!

Ordered as soon as I woke up to the email notification, can't wait!

Tayson, you were such a HUGE part of the race and Jeff’s documentary about it. I first saw you in Justin’s vids. When you popped up the movie it was super exciting and you friggin killed it. As a huge Jeff fan, thank you! Loved that story

Virtually amazing life accomplishments. Wonder about his family.

Good content, also people that do a lot of cardio , when at rest should see a lower number of beats per minute, this is called athletic heart syndrome which is good!!

I love the interface of my Applewatch with my iPhone and my Garmin Instict with my other Garmin devices and app. Struggling to justify the cost of a Coros and giving up my Applewatch as my day to day watch.

Very interesting, I've had my eye on a Coros for a while.

You cut your beard!

You guys have done it! You’ve persuaded me to order a Fortius Tent 1p tent and a Skyline 30 despite the £55 postage to the hills of Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (UK) I’m sure it will be worth it, no other company seems to do as much rigorous testing of their gear, and if they do, they don’t show it in as fun and less ‘salesperson’ way that you guys do. Thank you

One guy here doesn’t have to worry about sauce dropping on his chest. 😮 Amazing beard! Does he need less chin protection?

Sounds like a really wonderful trip with great people! So sorry to have missed this one. But thanks for the invite! You guys are the best. Congrats, Derek, and have a wonderful trip!

Such an awesome trip and really appreciate you guys pulling it off. It was awesome meeting all the other CZcamsrs, but it was also great to get to hang out and chat with the OV team again.

I have watched some of the videos from a few of the participants. I have been hoping you would do one too. Great idea to get more people exposed to your wonderful gear. I love mine, and am slowly getting more of your products. In my opinion they are the best on the market, and have improved our comfort a lot. Keep up the good work. I love your videos, too! Thank you

“A little bit of climbing” -Tayson 😂 This trip was SO much fun though. Thanks for making it happen! I learned a bunch too… like did you know the Satu pants have vents?!? 😂

That group picture for the thumbnail is awesome!

Enjoyed

Listened in Apple podcast earlier today. Sounded like a blast! Cant even imagine!

I like these long conversations I can just listen to on my runs. Hope to do at least r2r someday!

Sweetest, most positive team ever! And they had a great podcast!

Incredible “ Docurunnermy .” Loved every second of the footage! You can go ahead and use my descriptive term if you’d like, lol!

Thanks mucho for the info guys, very interesting to hear the great stories and personal takes on nutrition and approaches that work, or not, for you; I'll soon be turning 60 and just aspire to going as fast and as far as I can with training continuously and races

I just wanna know what shirt you was wearing on the trip you just did with the influencers. It was a purplish colored shirt.

Promo sm

I’m gonna go out on a crazy limb here …. And say he’s a rich kid nepo baby. I’ll Google it now and I just know I’m gonna find out it’s true. Lovely guy sure. But it’s just crystal clear …

Great, podcast will save it for my long runs

The guy on the left looks like he's on trail in a court lol

Using both the vario and the ventus. I use the ventus as an outer layer in the summer nights where is cool but not as cool and the vario as an all rounder for the fall and winter months. Both are amazing products. Thank you!

Inspiring guy 👍great food for thought 👍

Hunter and his pops were awesome on Race to Survive Alaska. Excited for this episode!

Love this information, I just got used to 12 mile day hikes over in South Carolina and I have the goal to do section hikes of the smokey mountain portion of the Appalachian trail next year. Thanks for giving actionable tips!

Dang Tayson, is that a knock on my JMT itinerary?! Kidding, kidding. But there is definitly a balance of taking your time to see what you want to see and dealing with work, family, and other demands! So if I've signed up for this year, how do I get access to the FB group? Has that opened up for the '24 cohort?

Tried to join. The checkout wouldn’t let me use my accumulated store credit. I sent a message to OV support. Hopefully it’s just a glitch!
