Follow Suffer UP
Hosts Nate and Ryan recap a brutal spring of ultras — a 100‑miler, a 75‑mile Florida Death Race, and pacing a 200‑mile effort — while discussing injury, forced rest, and training adjustments like rucking and weighted carries.
They explore the challenge of "flipping the switch" between high‑stress work and home life, share decompression strategies for anxiety and family routines, and announce a June Run Red 60‑mile fundraiser with Red Flamingo to support suicide‑prevention efforts, plus upcoming apparel and events.

EP#49 The 74-ish Mile: Florida Death Race-Recap
Follow Suffer UP
The Suffer Up team—Nate, Ryan, Lauren, and Sydney—give a candid, post-race recap hours after finishing the 74-ish mile Florida Death Race, covering the course, carrying the symbolic railroad spike, strict cutoffs, and brutal heat.
They share runner and crew perspectives on navigation errors, water resupplies, pacing styles, gear and fueling choices, medical and morale challenges, and the community support that carried them to the finish. The Florida Death Race hosted in Live Oak, Florida is a true test for even the most experienced trail runners. With 90% of this course is along the unforgiving Florida trail, the orange blazes claimed several of the runners-disabling them a chance to finish. This is a race recap of the Florida Death Race. Not for the faint of heart.

FOLLOW SUFFER UP
If you didn’t listen to the part 1 of Ryan’s Forgotten Florida 100, be sure to listen to that. On this episode, Ryan shares a more intimate view on his 100 mile journey from the start to the finish.

Starting with plan A of finishing under 24 hours, Plan B of finishing under 30 hours, to Plan C of just finishing and chasing the cut off, Ryan overcame many hurdles along the way. Nate, his pacer, also gives lessons learned and the pacers perspective of how to take care of your runner during these ultra marathons. 
Through adversity and trials, Nate and Ryan learned a lot during this 100 mile journey. Take the lessons pulled from this episode and go find your next difficult challenge. If you are thinking of doing this race, this is also a great listen.
