In episode #184, we bring back pro mountain runner Adam Kimble to talk about his incredible year of racing so far, including breaking course records at Badwater Cape Fear 50k and Outlands Endurance Races 50k,winning American River 50 miler, and most recently a DNF at Cocodona 250, and the strategies he employed, dealing with injury, and lessons learned.

Key Points:

  • How to adapt training and nutrition for different race lengths and terrains.
  • The importance of race simulations
  • Managing sleep deprivation
  • The significance of course familiarity and learning from race DNFs.
  • Practical tips for hydration: fluid strategies, salt intake, and hyperhydration protocols.
  • Upcoming races and injury management

Adam Kimble is a professional ultrarunner, race director, motivational speaker and running coach from Truckee, CA. In 2016, Adam ran 2,500 miles over the course of 60 days to cross the USA on foot. Subsequently, in November of 2016, he successfully completed a 60-day journey alone in the wilderness of South America to become winner of Discovery Channel's survivalist show, The Wheel. Following that adventure, Adam set two prominent Fastest Known Times (FKTs): in 2017 he became part of the first duo to ever run self-supported on foot across Great Britain (Scotland, England and Wales) while summiting the highest peak in each country along the way; and in 2020, he set the supported FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail—a 171-mile circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe.  Most recently in 2025, Adam finished 4th overall and ran one of the Top-10 fastest times ever at the historic Badwater 135.  Adam's life mission is to push himself past his perceived limits and achieve the impossible. His calling is to share what he has learned and help others grow in their journey so as to push through the ceiling and achieve their own 'impossible'.
