Andy Glaze: Ultra Mindset, Arizona Monster 300, & Keeping It Positive

This week on Trails, Tales, and Fails, we sit down with one of the most consistent and inspiring forces in the ultra world — Andy Glaze. A full-time firefighter, father, and ultra runner, Andy has racked up over 250 consecutive weeks of 100+ mile training — and he's still smiling.

We dive into his epic Arizona 300 adventure, how he manages sleep deprivation, why kindness beats trolls, and the real mental tools that keep him moving through five-day races and daily chaos. From hallucinations and guilty pleasures to social media noise and the secret to sore feet recovery, Andy discusses it with honesty, humour, and heart.

Plus: celebrity pacer, guilty pleasures, fails, quickfire round, and the ultimate advice he’d give his younger self before his first ultra. Whether you’re chasing your first ultra or your first 100-mile week, this episode is packed with the grit, laughs, and real talk you need.

🎧 Grab your running shoes — and maybe some tape for your feet — and join us for a wild ride with Andy Glaze.
