From second place at the Bigfoot 200 to qualifying for UTMB 2025, Logan’s résumé is nothing short of legendary. But it’s not just about the accolades, it’s about the engine within, the relationships that fuel the journey, and the quiet grit that turns pain into purpose. Logan reflects on growing up in Sutter, trading tackles on the football field for the relentless rhythm of long-distance running. He talks about what fuels his mental game during the darkest stretches of a race and shares the mantras that carry him forward. Listeners will hear about the running partners and mentors who’ve shaped his path, including his friendship with Kyler and the sibling dynamic with his brother Todd. He breaks down his training structure and recovery rituals, everything from Epsom salt baths to massages, and reveals how strength training and mindset combine to power his performance. Logan also shares the highs of iconic races like Bigfoot 200, Canyons 100M, and Cocodona 250, as well as what qualifying for Boston and UTMB means to him. The episode also returns home to the Bidwell Run Club, where Logan’s passion for community and connection runs just as deep as his endurance. Through laughter and reflection, he shares what makes Chico’s running scene special, the joy of watching others qualify for Boston, and the spirit that drives local runners forward.
