Running 450 Miles in 4.5 Days...Here’s How

Ahead of his appearance at the Western States 100, we sat down with him in our Olympic Valley studio to get some insights into how he did it, what his general thoughts are about the backyard ultra scene, and whether this type of racing is worthy of being spotlighted at an olympic level before getting into Western States-related content.
