How to Keep Running When You Want to Quit, Late Race Survival.
Description
In 2023, Michael Whiteside ran two crazy races back to back called the Bear 100 and Wasatch 100. Two iconic and storied Utah races that embody the romance of the American Ultra scene like few others.
They’re big mountain races.
I originally recorded this interview a year ago as I was trying to finish a hundred miler. At the time I had DNFed 8 of 9 100 milers and was obsessed with talking to people like Michael Whiteside to figure out how he finishes 100 milers and thought his huge back to back effort embodied a mindset that I needed.
