Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with trail and ultra runner John Andersen to dive into the world of extreme endurance running. We explored the background of the sport and what draws athletes to such grueling events. John shared insights into the keys to success in ultra races, including how runners manage the intense physical and nutritional challenges they face. He also opened up about his personal journey, highlighting memorable moments—most notably his victory at the prestigious Catoctin 50K Trail Race. While trail and ultra running isn't for everyone, it was inspiring to learn more about this rapidly growing and truly remarkable sport.
