About this episode

Today Peter Bromka and Matt Chittim are joined by new course record holder of the Leadville 100 and one of the best running coaches in the world - David Roche!

Since David is crushing the podcast circuit right now, we tried to go in-depth into topics that he hasn't been spending as much time on in some of his recent interviews.

Here is what we cover in this episode:


  • 2:56 - The Leadville 100 and David's Journey
  • 8:05 - Taking a Step Back from Racing and Embracing Training
  • 14:58 - Incorporating Different Training Modalities and Supplements
  • 19:50 - Balancing Simplicity and Geekiness in Coaching
  • 27:03 - Going All-In and Finding Inspiration in the 'Pain Cave'
  • 31:37 - The Power of Support and Belief
  • 37:07 - The Unique Dynamic of Coaching in Trail Running
  • 42:25 - The Importance of Communication and Daily Check-Ins
  • 47:13 - Fatigue Resistance and Optimizing Fueling
  • 59:51 - Finding Your Why in Running


Make sure to listen to David's "Some Work, All Play" podcast that he co-hosts with his wife and coaching partner Dr. Megan Roche.
