In this episode of The Adventure Jogger Podcast , Valan Kornhaus shares her journey from a reluctant high school runner to an ultra runner, navigating the challenges of military life, motherhood, and mental health. She opens up about returning to running after childbirth, battling postpartum depression, and finding solace on the trails.

The conversation also explores her passion for coaching, the impact of relocation on mental well-being, and her future aspirations in both running and mental health counseling. Follow Valan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/valanrunslife/ Takeaways Valan’s love-hate relationship with running began in high school. The military gave her structure. FOMO from missing a relay race pulled her back into the sport. Pregnancy and postpartum depression challenged her physically and mentally. Her first trail run was both terrifying and transformative. She battled injuries and setbacks during her first 50K. COVID pushed her to build a virtual running community. Moving to Colorado opened new doors in her running journey. GI issues and race-day anxiety tested her resilience. Running became more about connection than competition. She ran 54 miles on a torn labrum, proving her grit. Mental health struggles shaped her approach to training. DNFs became lessons in perseverance rather than failures. She aspires to become a certified coach and mentor others. The mental game is just as crucial as physical endurance. Strength training is key to longevity in the sport.

Bankruptcy, Badwater, and Beyond: The Unstoppable "Epic Bill" Bradley 1:37:16

Bill Bradley’s journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless determination. After building a video rental empire, he lost everything when Netflix disrupted the industry, leading to bankruptcy. But instead of giving up, Bill found purpose in ultra-endurance sports, tackling brutal challenges like Badwater, the Arrowhead 135, and multiple Grand Canyon crossings. He shares his experiences battling extreme conditions, pushing past failures, and embracing the mindset of never quitting. From attempting Denali and Aconcagua to swimming the English Channel, Bill’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the drive to conquer the impossible. "Epic Bill" film: https://www.pbs.org/video/epic-bill-7nkun4/ https://epicbillbradley.com/home/ Takeaways Bill Bradley's journey is a testament to resilience and perseverance. He discovered running as a child and continued through school. Bradley built a successful video rental business, but the rise of Netflix led to its downfall. Facing bankruptcy and personal struggles, he turned to running for healing and purpose. His first 50-miler was a life-changing moment, solidifying his identity as an ultra runner. Bradley believes in never giving up and finding creative solutions to challenges. He attempted Western States with little preparation, learning valuable lessons from failure. He became one of only four people to complete a quadruple Badwater. The recognition from fellow runners meant more to him than official awards. He didn’t learn to swim until 35 but later took on extreme endurance swims. After an eight-year break, he returned to ultra racing with renewed passion. Bradley set a record for seven crossings of the Grand Canyon. Extreme endurance challenges like Arrowhead 135 test both mental and physical limits. He faced frostbite on Denali and battled altitude sickness on Aconcagua. Survival skills are essential for extreme cold races and high-altitude adventures. To overcome his fear of heights, he took on skydiving and bungee jumping. Mental strength is just as crucial as physical training in ultra-endurance sports. Every failure is a lesson, pushing him toward greater achievements. Bradley’s journey proves that perseverance, resilience, and a refusal to quit can lead to extraordinary feats.

Sam Werner takes on one of the most unique running challenges yet—the Chipotle Challenge , a competition to log the most segments near a Chipotle restaurant. He shares his intense training, fueling strategies, and the mental toughness required to win. From barefoot running to conquering Colorado’s 14ers, Sam reflects on his journey, recent marathon PR, and his growing passion for ultra running. Plus, insights on balancing work, training, and the role of gear in peak performance. Takeaways Sam Werner's running journey began in middle school, transitioning from basketball and tennis to track and field. He experimented with barefoot running but found it challenging. Passionate about hiking, he has summited 53 of Colorado's 14ers. Trail running introduced new challenges and skills, leading him to compete in 18K and 26K races. Sam has completed two marathons, with a personal best of 2:39:46, and is preparing for Boston and Chicago. He enjoys combining speed work with longer runs for balanced training. The Chipotle Challenge involved repeatedly running a short segment, logging over 1,000 segments and 442 miles in January. His biggest single-day effort was 36 miles, primarily training in cushioned shoes for recovery. The challenge created a strong sense of community among participants. Sam balanced high-mileage training with his full-time job as an actuary. He prefers smoothies over heavy meals for fueling during long runs. Denver is back in contention for the Chipotle Challenge , with the current leader running four hours a day. Some runners incorporate biking into their strategy for segment-based challenges. Ultra running presents unique challenges and rewards, pushing physical and mental limits. Recovery and strength training are crucial for long-term success.
