Welcome back or welcome to the Single Track podcast.

I'm your host Finn Melanson and in this episode we talk with Jeff Cole, a professional runner for On based in Carbondale, Colorado, who is lining up for this year's Western States 100 after securing a golden ticket at the 2022 Black Canyon 100 K.

Before we get started though, this episode of Single track is brought to you by Soar Running.

Soar Running, that's S-O-A-R running, are a London-based high-performance running apparel brand.

Why am I excited to partner with SOAR? Well, if you're like me, you take pride in your running

gear and you want the best. That's why I'm stoked about this brand.

They are pushing the running apparel boundaries when it comes to producing gear that we care about,

like wet and cold weather layers and racing kids.

I'm also excited because they are finally moving into the trail running space.

After years in the figurative lab, they have launched a trail-specific clothing line that I've had a chance to test.

Specifically, their half-zip t-shirts, trail race vests, and trail shorts, all out on multi-hour runs in my backyard of the Wasatch Range.

This apparel is the real deal.

If you want help getting kidded out for your training and racing needs, SOAR is offering us an

exclusive 20% savings at soar running.com. All you got to do is enter the code single track 20 at

checkout, but act fast. This code is only valid through June and July. I'm stoked to people,

and I care about you all. I wouldn't be endorsing something if I didn't believe in it and use

it myself. So go check out sore running when you get a chance. With that, let's get on with the show.

Jeff Colt, welcome back to the single track podcast. Thanks for having me, fan. So ever since our talk

back in February, which I'll link to in the show notes, which

gives an overview of your background in the sport, how you got your ultra running chops, as a

member of the hut crew in the White Mountains, how you got your golden ticket at Black

Camille.
