Ultrarunning is a way of life—and perhaps a bit more of an expensive one than its granola-crunching vibe might lead one to think. Here’s a breakdown of why this fast-growing sport can cost thousands of dollars per race, and how you can cut costs without cutting corners.
On todays episode of Hybrid Horizons, we chat with Dustin Needham, a prominent athlete in the functional fitness and HYROX communities. We talk about Needham’s transition from a multi-sport background in track and football to becoming a specialized competitor in obstacle course racing and hybrid events. Needham shares insights into his rigorous training regimen, which he largely conducts in his EPIC home garage, and stresses the importance of disciplined recovery and sleep. We also explore the rapid growth of HYROX, noting its high-production value and its appeal as a professionalized "mixed modality" sport. We finish off by discussing his future ambitions, including his upcoming move into the pro solo division and his goal to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

First post was the run to the west side of the city, this morning, the east and down to Almargem Beach. This was a far easier run and for anyone coming to Quatiera and staying in the north end, Id recommend to take this eastern route down to the ocean. Beyond stunning and even the wild dogs I came across on the beach were friendly. This place is amazing! Thanks as always to Ostrich Running for keeping me cool and On Trail Nutrition for keeping me fuelled. Heading to Lagos today. Old town is suppose to be nice!

New training grounds! Welcome to Portugal. I’ll be conducting my daily training regiment down in southern Portugal for the next couple weeks! It’s hot and hilly which is great prepping for the 5 Peaks Adventures Albion Run in early Sept. Ran from my house to Falesia Beach. Beautiful. About 9 miles all around and 1:26. Little long, but it’s because I got lost! 🤣 This is the western side of the city. Tomorrow we’ll do the east side and Marina.
