Ultra endurance events are growing like weeds nationally and internationally. Events are getting more and more epic. Higher climbs, longer runs and more challenging terrain continues to push athletes and the human spirit beyond where we ever thought we could go. Today, on the podcast we talk with accomplished coach and ultra athlete Ryan Knapp. Ryan and I have been friends for many years and are reconnecting over our shared passion for endurance sports. At the beginning of todays show you'll catch Ryan and I reconnecting and we learn that on one of Ryan's big adventures he catches Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever! I simply had to leave that in!

A few topics we cover on today's podcast:
