  • How to Get Into SKIMO plus a Preview of Trav's Audio Novella, THE RUNNER
    Dec 16 2024

    For today’s episode of the Travis Macy Show, we’re mixing it up in two parts! First, I’m giving an overview of the world of ski mountaineering, or "SKIMO" as it's often called—one of my favorite activities for building fitness and having fun in the winter. A while back I had some stellar chats with my friend Mike Hagan, who runs Hagan Ski Mountaineering, and today I’m sharing a few clips from those conversations. You’ll learn everything you need to know if you're just getting started or looking to improve your skills. Whether you're a runner, cyclist, or multi-sport athlete wanting to mix in some backcountry skiing or SKIMO racing, this conversation has you covered.

    Then, in part two, I’m shifting gears to something I’ve been working hard on: my new novella, THE RUNNER. It’s coming to you in serial audiobook format from Christmas to New Year’s, and in this episode, you’ll get a preview. THE RUNNER tells the story of Carp, a middle-aged man navigating the ups and downs of life in the Rockies. With themes of endurance sports, psychology, love, loss, and more, it’s a quirky, unique tale that I’m excited to share with you. Stick around after the schema discussion to hear an AI-generated preview of the novella—I think you’ll find it fascinating!

  • Ep. 177 How to Run Your First 100 Miler with Henry Harris
    Nov 25 2024

    This episode is a great one, folks—I'm joined by my buddy Henry Harris, a guy who’s got a passion for reading, running, and the outdoors. We kicked things off by talking about his love for audiobooks, and then dove into Henry’s running journey, including his impressive second-place finish at the Bear 100 endurance race.

    His strategy for the race was solid—he paced himself smartly, took care of his body, and had an incredible crew of pacers like David Hedges and Barrett Bentley to help him through the tough stretches. Henry also opened up about his fueling strategy, the struggles with plantar fasciitis, and the importance of cooling strategies in the heat. Post-race, we talk recovery, mental toughness, and the value of human connection—there’s a lot to unpack here, and I think you’ll really enjoy hearing Henry’s approach to both running and life.
