Description

Last week we discussed Forrest Gump, a film that Brendan Leonard believes introduced millions of people to ultrarunning. Today, Cody and Jonathan discuss what many regard as the greatest ultra film of all time, ‘Unbreakable: The Western States 100.’ It documents the 2010 running of Western States, and the 2025 race happens this Saturday, June 28. As always, Cody and I discuss what’s aged the best, what’s aged the worst, who needed BLISTER+ the most, and more.
