What makes Aaron Saft different? It’s all about putting the person before the athlete. I sat down with Aaron, a seasoned endurance athlete and coach, to talk about his philosophy, and the real nuances of coaching, especially when it comes to personalized training and building strong, genuine connections with athletes. Aaron shares his approach to fueling in ultra-endurance sports and how mental preparation plays a huge role in success. We also hear some great stories, including his family’s adventure at the High Lonesome 100-mile race.

At the end of the episode, I’ve got a special segment with Steve and Brian, who talk about their involvement with the Alzheimer’s Association’s Ride to End Alzheimer’s. The 2025 event is coming up on June 8 in Fort Collins, and they share details about the event, which offers routes for all skill levels and resources for those affected by the disease
