EP 11-- Welcome Back!

I'm not a good runner but I'm a good thinker. Whether you're runner 1 mile or 100 miles, those who manage their thoughts and emotions most efficiently are the same ones who typically have the most enjoyable experience on foot. In this episode, I cover several "tools" for your toolbox that will make you a more emotionally resilient runner no matter your experience level.

EP 13--Bryce Canyon 50-Mile Ultra Marathon 2021

EP 14--Road Trip & FitCon Utah 2021

My training philosophy is 20 years in the making and is still changing... Its been a direct reflection of the experiences I've had throughout my athletic career and working with coaches that I've developed some of my own key principles that have allowed me to stay nearly injury-free and still able to compete at a high level today. Be sure to take notes on this one; there's a lot to unpack.

EP 15--My Training Philosophy

It's been nearly 16 months since I moved out of the city and into the mountains at Rasta Ranch. My entire life has changed drastically, all for the better. I've logged hundreds of man hours over that time making this place great again. Here are just a few of the major lessons the land has taught me so far.

EP 05--Training Vs Working Out

I'm convinced only complete pyschopaths know how to calmly write their bio when asked, so let's give this a try.

I'm Dan Holguin or my more professional title, Rasta Runner.

I'm a mindset & fitness coach to high performers and transformational speaker.

I've been grateful enough to have had some incredible life experiences from a career in bull riding, becoming a best-selling author, fulfilling a childhood dream of summiting Machu Picchu, competing on American Ninja Warrior a couple times, and now training and competing for mountain ultra marathons.

That's the highlight reel; but I've also had my share of tragedy; like most of us. 

After unexpectedly losing my longtime coach and mentor, I found myself at what you could call, 'rock bottom'. I gained 30 lbs, went broke, and moved back in with my mom...good times. But after becoming a victim to everything that happened, I decided it was time to fight my way out of the hole I created.

Since then, I've led people to lose a ton of weight; literally, over 2,000 lbs in just a few years. It's been pretty rad! As a result, they've named me 'Montana Fitness Coach of the Year' a few times.

Currently, I live in the middle of the mountains on a ranch in beautiful Northwest Montana and I live and breath long-distance mountain running in Glacier National Park.

So whatcha think? How'd I do?
