  • The Evolution of Anton Krupicka: From Minimalist to Mountain Philosopher
    Anton Krupicka never set out to become an icon. But with a string of legendary performances in the early 2000s, including back-to-back wins at Leadville and a second-place finish in the epic 2010 Western States, plus a starring role in Unbreakable, he did. In this episode, Buzz and Anton sit down for a reflective, raw, and deeply insightful conversation about the sport’s past, present, and future. They talk about: The early days of ultrarunning sponsorships and the dawn of the minimalist movement What it felt like to be in Unbreakable—and how that race really felt How Anton’s training philosophy has evolved (“I used to run too hard all the time”) Why social media metrics can’t measure meaning The role of athletes in brand storytelling—and why inspiration still matters His return to Sportiva, future alpine missions, and maybe even UTMB Why he still shows up, even after injury, and what keeps him running Plus, Buzz gets candid with pro athlete Hillary Allen, who shares why Anton's legacy matters far beyond podiums—and how storytelling shapes the next generation of endurance athletes. 📣 Sponsor Shoutout: This episode is brought to you by Wahoo Fitness.

  • Part Two: The Most Influential Runner in History - A Conversation with Frank Shorter
    Buzz continues his conversation with the man at the center of a pivotal moment in running history. Did you know that, not long ago, athletes risked losing their amateur status—and their shot at the Olympics—if they accepted any form of payment? Even something as simple as having someone buy you lunch could get you banned. This system, known as “shamateurism,” governed the sporting world until Frank Shorter helped change it, forever altering the landscape for athletes worldwide. “We got the White House involved. When the President of the United States talks, even the International Olympic Committee is going to listen.” In this episode, Frank reflects on the mindset that carried him through it all: “I never focused on winning. I went in wanting to find out.” “I always wanted to keep running. Since I turned 35, my goal has always been to slow down as slowly as possible.” This episode is brought to you by Wahoo Fitness.

  • The Most Influential Runner in History
    Why is Frank Shorter is the most influential runner in the history of the sport?  In the debut episode of The Buzz, we hear Frank tell amazing first-hand stories none of us have ever heard before.   Frank won the Marathon gold medal at the 1972 Munich Olympics, which is credited with starting the first running boom, and he heard the shots ring out in what came to be known as the Munich Massacre, which forever changed how we think about terrorism.   At the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Frank was again at a pivotal point in running history, when an unheralded runner, later revealed to be part of the East German doping program, won the gold medal.  Frank tells the shocking story of why he couldn’t do anything about that.  Then Buzz points out he actually did: He was the first Chairman the USADA (U.S. Anti Doping Agency) and basically started the modern anti-doping movement.   You’ve probably heard the name but did not know who Frank Shorter was.  Now you know!   “I heard the shots. I heard the bomb go off. I was in both places."   The Buzz is supported by Wahoo. The Kickr Run reimagines readmill training with automatic pace and incline adjustments that respond to your movement—no buttons, just natural running.
