We have a fascinating conversation with Jared Beasley, author of The Endurance Artist, the book about Gary Cantrell, aka Lazarus Lake. Jared has followed Laz for several years now and supported him on his Trans-America crossing a couple of years ago. He has gained a unique insight into the brain behind The Barkley Marathons and the Backyard Ultra format and having started this book, I can confirm it is a must read for anyone with an interest in Laz Lake and his races.

We are also excited to share that Core Body Temperature Sensors are our new Podcast Sponsor, and we are very grateful to them for supporting us. Watch out for our review of their Core Sensor 2 coming soon and you’ll find a huge discount in our Black Friday newsletter.
