Hey Brett, this has got to be one of my favorite podcasts that you've done. Keep it up. Got any tips for running the Ragnar wasatch back race as an ultra team?
Another great show, got me through part of a 3 hour ride
Haha! I love the way Emily gives you heck. You guys are funny. You should listen to her :)
@ hambone Yes. Save yourself for the last two runs. You'll need it!
Great job on this podcast, I found it highly entertaining/useful while on my last run. Thanks!
Very Cool Show!
I love the quote “It’s Pacing Not Racing.” Makes me want to run an ultra one day.
