Explicit content warning
03/15/22 • 60 min
Welcome to the Lace Up and Run Podcast. We believe in a fun and active lifestyle with a primary focus on running and hiking. There is a supply of bourbon in the podcast studio so there is pretty much a guarantee there might be some of Kentucky's finest consumed during the show.
Episode 18:
Big race announcement - Wicked Pig Ultra coming on December 10th.
RTS Sports will be hosting this Ultra Event on the Southern Illinois River to River Trail. The River to River Trail is a 160 mile trail that serves the Shawnee National Forest in far southern Illinois. It will be divided into 4 sections over four years. Therefore, if you complete all four sections, you will have completed the entire River to River Trail.
The first year will be approximately a 60K. Don't like the word "approximate?" Welcome to our wicked ways. The trail is both wicked and beautiful...wickedly beautiful?
The race will start when the Race Director's eat their piece of bacon followed by a wicked whisky shooter!
We are only waiting for the official approval documentation to arrive in the mail before we go full launch!
As if that announcement wasn't enough, Tim and Lindsey discuss the Barkley Marathon and the Land Between the Lakes (LBL) 50 Miler.

Ep19 / FKT (Fastest Known Time) Attempt on a 150 Plus Mile Trail
Welcome to the Lace Up and Run Podcast. We believe in a fun and active lifestyle with a primary focus on running and hiking. There is a supply of bourbon in the podcast studio so there is pretty much a guarantee there might be some of Kentucky's finest consumed during the show.
Episode 19:
Our very own Lindsey is embarking on a journey to set the "self supported" FKT (fastest known time) on the River to River Trail in Southern Illinois. It will be the hardest task to date in Lindsey's running journey.
Lindsey already owns the FKT for the "supported" version on the same technical, at times, trail.
Lindsey explains how she plans to navigate the potential weather conditions, what shoes she will be wearing, the gear she is utilizing to maximize success and how she plans to hydrate and get nutrition.
It will be both a physical and mental challenge, but for anyone who knows Lindsey, we know she will be up for the challenge. #PushYourLimits
