I’m joined by co-host Brett Hornig and special guest Tim Tollefson to riff pretty much free-form about the world of mountain ultra trail running for 2 hours. It's a good one.
Timestamps:
- (2:46) - Tim's sponsorship change, being a darkhorse, the latter stages of ultrarunning careers, UTMB aspirations, other goals for 2023 and 2024
- (18:47) - what it means to be a true fan of the sport, whether 100 milers are what matter most in the sport right now, how the sport should be covered
- (54:34) - UTMB World Series discussion, pro sport narratives, qualifying for top races, fate of the competitive sport
- (69:37) - UROY discussion
- (81:43) - "Buy or Sell" segment
