This episode of the Outside Podcast is brought to you by the Arii Co-op.

Sponsors of the new film How to Run 100 Miles, with Brendan Leonard and Jason Sign.

Two regular guys who set out to see if they have what it takes to run a really, really long way.

We weren't exactly born to run in the mountains. We met working in an apple bees in college in Iowa.

In the best sports movies, the big game or race, is really a metaphor or symbol of something bigger.

And this one's no different.

Also, the film is really funny and emotional, and it'll make you want to be an ultra-runner.

The film goes live on February 13th on the REI Coop Journal at REI.com slash blog.
