Ultra Marathoners are crazy, and after hearing on of the method's that Mick Jurynec uses for training for some of his races, he might be certifiably insane!
Mick is a fantastic guy, and while our conversation seemed to revolve mostly around running really long distances, we did cover a few other areas as well.
Some of the highlights of our conversation include:
The process of going from a non-runner to an ultra-runner.
Dressing for a winter run when it's 90* outside.
The most important component of running really long distances while avoiding injury.
The give and take of training for a long distance race while being married to an ultra-runner and having a young child at the same time, all while still working full time.
The joys of running in nature and the rush of being chased by a moose!
And these are just a sampling of the turns our conversation took. You'll want to hear the moose story for sure, it's fantastic!
