We are bearing witness to some outlandish performances right now, riding a really interesting wave in the ultra running world.

This whole backyard thing brought in all of the hybrid athletes, and a different sort of archetype of individual now that is either ultra curious or kicking ass at the highest level.

You can't dictate what the culture is.

Will Goodge is a British ultra-endurance athlete who has run the length of the UK, then across America, then across Australia.

He's back for round two (ep. 790). He keeps raising the bar on his challenges, and the latest iteration is very difficult to get my head around: 50 marathons in 50 states in 24 days. A Jenga jigsaw puzzle sort of deal, a Special Forces operation, 100% physical, 100% mental, and 100% logistical. The margin of error is very small.

Topics include:

50 Marathons, 50 States, 24 Days
Fueling 9,000 Calories a Day on the Move
"Can I Take Another Step?" & Why Now Is The Only Time You Can Act
Grief, Anger & Running as the Outlet
The Burden of Proof & the FKT Verification
Psilocybin, Forgiveness & His Mother's Presence
