Luke McCrae is the man behind the Corsa Live Tracking app which more and more people are using to track their backcountry efforts. On the app, you can drop in and browse current efforts, watch FKT attempts against a "ghost" tracker of the record their trying to beat, and create a free tracking link of your upcoming adventure in an elegant and straightforward interface.

Luke's an awesome guy and an avid ultra runner in his own right. And he's doing all this while studying full time. Enjoy the conversation and be sure to check out the app at Corsa.Run and on Instagram @corsalivetracking

We've got Chris Paquette, aka "Christopher Walkin" on the pod this week fresh off his win at the 50 mile Kilkenny Ridge Race. From backpacking the Appalachian Trail in 90 days to setting multiple FKTs across New England to climbing high peaks in Mexico and Ecuador, this man who exudes positivity and joy, continues to add to an impressive resume of outdoor adventure.

Enjoy this fun conversation and follow him on Instragram @christopher_walkin.

Well, it's been a while. Feel free to skip to around minute 10 for just the interview. I spend the first little bit explaining my absence on the pod and a little update on life and the Ascutney Vertical Backyard Race.

The majority of the podcast is an interview with Cody Taylor, who set the Long Trail Unsupported Yo-Yo FKT. That's 550 miles with 135,000 feet of vertical gain all while carrying his food for the entire journey, which lasted just over 17 days and 8 hours.

He was blast to interview and someone who is pushing the boundaries of unsupported efforts. Hope you enjoy! You can connect with Cody at:
