What a way to wrap up the Cobra Den Trail Series! 🐍

This weekend at the final race — the King Half Marathon — Jaime @running.withneedles crushed it with 2nd in Age Group and finished 2nd overall for the entire series. So proud of that consistency all summer.

Ty @ty.micco also ran a really strong race in the brutal heat and continues to show massive progress. He’s quickly becoming quite the trail runner!

And a belated shoutout from two weeks ago at Cobra Den 3, the Caspian 10-miler (also ridiculously hot out there): Jaime took 1st in AG, I grabbed 2nd AG, and Ty had another great showing in only his second trail race. The improvement from race to race has been awesome to watch.

Love racing these trails with this crew. Huge thanks to @james.boler_ and the @mambatrailrunners team for another fun series.
Already looking forward to next year! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Cherokee 130k
85 miles 19k+. 2nd/20:56:16

Perseverance vs. Attrition.

If this were a flat road race in Tennessee July heat and humidity, it would already destroy you. But add 19,000 feet of brutal gain, rugged Southern Appalachian Blue Ridge trails, thunderstorms rolling through, creek crossings, and those jaw-dropping rivers and mountains… and you’ve got a true test of perseverance.

43 runners toed the line. Only 13 finished.

This race took everything I had — and then some. I stayed present, aid station to aid station, solving problems on the move, putting one foot in front of the other through the dark moments. Held on to claim 2nd place and the 7th fastest time in course history.

Grateful. Gutted. Proud.

What an absolute beast of a day in the mountains.

Thanks to:

Crazy the places running has taken me in just 6 years.

From wanting to simply walk around a mountain to running 40+ ultras, launching my own coaching business, and building an incredible community of friends along the way.

Humbled and grateful to be featured in this month’s Memphis Health & Fitness Magazine! 🏃‍♂️✨

Running didn’t just change my body—it completely transformed my life. If you’re thinking about lacing up for the first time or chasing that next big goal, I’m proof that it all starts with one step (or one walk around a mountain).

Big thanks to the @memfitmag team for the feature!

🔥 Zach seals the series with another podium!🔥

Flatlander Running athlete Zach @zallen90 crushed the final day of the Jackal Marathon Series in Jackson, TN — taking 2nd place in the fifth and final marathon!

That performance locked him into 3rd place overall for the entire series. Even better? He completed all 5 races totaling over 130 miles in under 24 hours! 💪

From torrential downpours, stifling heat/ humidity, and stomach battles to staying consistent across multiple brutal days — Zach showed incredible heart, mental toughness, and execution.

Huge congratulations Zach! You battled, you adapted, and you delivered. Proud of the way you represented Flatlander Running all week.
👊👊🔨🔨 Keep smashing goals!

🙏 Humbled and truly honored to be named to the 2026 Injinji Team.

It means a lot to now be counted among such an incredible group of athletes.

Big congratulations to the entire 2026 team!

Grateful to keep running in them.

Let’s go! 🔥

HUGE shoutout to my Flatlander athlete @running.withneedles — Jaime Russell — for absolutely SMASHING her first 100K! 🔥

1st Female.
2nd Overall.
NEW COURSE RECORD.

I knew Jaime had the engine to take this race, but since it was her debut at the 100K distance, we kept the pressure off and zeroed in on what matters most: smart pacing, dialed-in fueling with @humagel , rock-solid hydration, staying lubed up with @squirrels_nut_butter and realistic goal setting. She executed the plan like a pro from gun to tape.

Then came the magic moment. Pacing her through the final loop after 55 miles, I dropped the truth bomb — she was in prime position for the course record. Game on.
Jaime flipped the switch. She got aggressive, picked up the pace with every single mile, and charged into the finish like she owned the trail.

Pure guts, zero quit.

This wasn’t just a strong debut — it was a statement. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Jaime, you showed exactly what disciplined training + mental toughness looks like on race day.

Flatlander crew is eating good tonight.

What’s next, beast? The 100-miler is calling… 💪

Shoutout to my Flatlander Athlete @zallen90 for crushing a triple weekend of 50k ultras! 💪🔥
Zach rarely takes long breaks between races, so when he said he was adding the Viper 53k just a week after Music City 50k, I was like, "Hell yeah—let's shift some training and make it happen." Then a couple days after Viper, he drops that he's lining up for another 50k in a few days? My response: "LET'S GO!" 🚀
He didn't just finish all three—he got stronger each time:

Mar 7: Music City 50k → 7th overall / 5:56 👊
Mar 13: Viper 53k → 2nd overall / 5:09 🔥
Mar 21: Big Buffalo 50k → 2nd overall / 4:53 🚀

Zach's one of the most game dudes I know—always putting in the work, keeping it fun in training, and absolutely lighting it up on race day. Proud coach moment right here!

Comfort is a slow death.
Wanna feel young when you get old?
Steer clear of comfort.
Run Outside.
Lift heavy weights.
Raise your heart rate.
Get out of breath.
Eat Real Food: meat, healthy fats (nuts, avocado, butter, olive oil), veggies and fruits.
It's really that easy.

Feeling GOOD again!!! 🚀

That post-ultra depression (aka the ultra blues) hits HARD after a 100-miler… but damn, the comeback is sweet.

If you’ve been through the post-100 blues… you’re not alone. It’s real, it’s temporary, and the bounce-back feels like magic every time.

Build your plate for better energy and steady blood sugar, and hit your daily protein goals!

A simple shift: Start with protein, add healthy fats, then finish with carbs.

Plate it in that order—and eat it the same way: Protein → Fats → Carbs

Why it works: Eating protein and fats first slows digestion, increases satiety, and dramatically reduces glucose and insulin spikes—studies show up to 70%+ lower spikes when carbs come last.

Benefits you’ll notice:

More consistent energy (no big crashes)

Fewer cravings

Better support for fat-burning and overall metabolic health

Reduced Inflammation

Ensures you hit your daily protein goal!

It’s an easy habit with real science behind it!
