Summary
Before today I was completely clueless on what being an ultra runner meant, other than you run more than a marathon. I can't even imagine running 27.2 miles, but these ultra runners are TOUGH, my guest today talks about the popularity of ultra running has risen, and how there are not only 100 mile races, but 200 mile races cropping up. WOW!
I am excited to be joined by another podcast host today, one who I love to listen to, and learn from; Eric Schranz.
