Pursuit of the Perfect Race

Talking with Rachel Belmont is an absolute pleasure. Her journey through the sport of running has not been an easy one. There have been injuries, set backs, depression, and many shifts of goals along the way. Now, she is an avid runner, but at one time, she never thought she would be able to run again. Recently, she ran 100 miles on a the treadmill in order to raise money for a company that she loves supporting. This episode is filled with so much passion about the sport and all it has to offer. Thank you so much Rachel for spending some time with me to share your story!-Follow her on Instagram: @_skyrunr_-Follow Coach Terry:Instagram: @PerfectRacePodcast

I sat down with co-founder of Cervelo, Phil White and discussed at great length the history of how he went from Cervelo, to semi-retirement, to now helping the amazing team at 4iiii. At 4iiii, they have designed a power meter that was built for cyclist, by cyclist. We talk about all the things 4iiii has developed and how the pandemic has changed things. Thank you Phil for coming on the show and telling me your story. I enjoyed your company.-Follow Coach Terry:Instagram: @PerfectRacePodcast

I was humble when I was able to sit down with Cam Mayfield for a little bit and discuss her journey through endurance events. It’s been an amazing journey for her. Completing Western States (@wser) a twice and bettering her time by over an hour isn’t easy. But she managed to not only do this, but also run a fast race at the Olympic trials this year. -Pictures are from: Andrew McGuire, Myke Hermsmeyer, and Jesse Ellis with Let’s Wander Photography.-Cam’s Sponsors include:GU Energy Labs, Brooks Running, Squirrels Nut Butter, and Ultimate Direction. -Follow Cam:IG: @cameliamayfield

I sat down and chatted with Michael “Gagz” about his recent run around the city of Philadelphia. He has named this run the Philly Four Corners. To say he loves the city is an understatement. I would say he is an avid fan of the city in many ways. He literally ran around the entire city in one single run. We chat about what this was like from the planning to hitting the save button. Thank you for sharing your journey with me Gagz, it was an honor to have you on the show. Maybe I can get you and @Michaelwardian to do an episode together next time?-Follow Gagz:IG: @bdg123-Follow Coach Terry:Instagram: @PerfectRacePodcast

You may have heard about his world records, his son, or even something that he was a part of that millions around the world watched. When Dave and his Coach Travis had to scratch the idea of his goal of a run across Canada, they shifted their perspective to make something epic. In a time when the world of endurance racing needed a deep breath and something for hope, they created a virtual event. In this episode, I talk with Dave about what happened, the idea, the race, the pandemic, and much more. I wish you all the best Dave and can’t wait until you cross Canada on foot next year!-Follow Dave:IG: @Daveoutrunsrare @RunProctorWebsite: https://outrunrare.com/-Follow Coach Terry:Instagram: @PerfectRacePodcast

Mike and I play chess together and today have become great friends over the past months. Recently, he is known for winning the Virtual Backyard Ultra with the assist of Radek.

I look forward to seeing him race in the future and follow in his footsteps at the Comrades Marathon. During this episode we talk about what he’s been doing since races have been cancelled/postponed, and feats he’s doing as well. Thank you, Michael, for your time.
