Celebrating 50 Episodes: Ultra Insights, AI Coaching, and Robot Races

Episode 50 of One More K is a milestone celebration for Markus and Ned, reflecting on the journey from starting out to becoming an “ultra-marathon” podcast. They revisit key themes from past episodes, like the evolving business of trail running, the passion behind ultra-endurance athletes, and how the sport’s growing popularity is shaping its future.
The duo shares candid thoughts on industry trends, brand innovation, and even touch on quirky topics like AI in coaching and robot racing. Their humorous takes on government cuts to trail funding and the rise of trail lotteries keep the episode lively and relatable.
Capping it off, Ned reads a heartfelt poem about the joy of podcasting and the parallels to running-a shared love that fuels their weekly conversations. With its mix of introspection, fun, and forward-thinking ideas, Episode 50 is a perfect blend of reflection and inspiration for endurance sports fans.
