Before today I was completely clueless on what being an ultra runner meant, other than you run more than a marathon. I can't even imagine running 27.2 miles, but these ultra runners are TOUGH, my guest today talks about the popularity of ultra running has risen, and how there are not only 100 mile races, but 200 mile races cropping up. WOW!
I am excited to be joined by another podcast host today, one who I love to listen to, and learn from; Eric Schranz.
Eric is one of the founders of Ultra Runner Podcast (URP), which is a weekly podcast 1 hour long interview with elite runners, veterans, and experts in ultra and trail running world.
They have a featured section called Daily News, which is the most popular page. URP will be featured in Running Times this month!
Eric has been running for 30 years, starting elementary school, and coming from a family of runners. Even though Eric has only run one ultra, he has a lot of insight for you from his guests, and has plenty of races planned for this year.
Today Eric and I will discuss
- Why ultra running has increased in popularity so much over the years
- Why instead of a medal, you are awarded with a belt buckle for completing a 100 mile race
- How runners can be compared to alcoholics and drug addicts when it comes to our obsession to running
- What a fatass is
- How to transition from marathon training to ultra running
- What mistakes every ultra runner makes, even the elites
