Description

If you have ever met Cal, then you are, by default, one of his friends. Cal goes out of his way to meet anyone and everyone, and as his granddad taught him. That could be your best friend walking by, so stop and say hi.On this episode of the Blueprint to Ultra podcast, we talk to Cal about his early experience at his first 50k and then what it takes to complete his first 100 miler, the Kodiak 100 in Big Bear. We don't shy away from the fact that training for an ultra is hard and there are mental and physical challenges that come from the pursuit of doing hard things. Cal talks about his personal motivation and the influence of his granddad, along with their mission to raise awareness for autoimmune diseases through Hills for HillCREST.We invite you to listen in and prepare to be inspired by Cal as we are.
