Episode 1: The Beginning – Meet Your Hos...

Anthony Herrington & Zach Vogt
About this episode

Welcome to the very first episode of Endurance State of Mind! Hosts Zach Vogt and Anthony Herrington kick off the show by sharing the stories that led them to this moment—one born-again runner logging 100-mile weeks and a former 315-pound college athlete-turned-Ironman. With no guests this week, it’s all about getting to know the voices behind the mic.


Zach and Anthony open up about their personal journeys, why Mississippi deserves more love in the endurance world, and how this podcast aims to highlight stories from the front, middle, and back of the pack. From weight loss and recovery to ultramarathon dreams and bike races across America, this intro lays the foundation for what’s to come—raw conversations, real vulnerability, and a shared commitment to going further, together.


Grab your recovery drink, lace up, and settle in. This is Endurance State of Mind.
