Episode 74: Aaron Dana - Gnarly Mountains, Strength Work & The Mid-State Mile

Aaron Dana is as tough as his mustache is big, and he is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

In the past year, he has won the Mighty Mosquito 100, set a course record at the 40 Hour Tennessee Mile, and we were lucky enough to hang with him as he prepares to go to battle at The Mid-State Mile, a unique Last Person Standing race on the infamous Murder Mile course in the mountains of Tennessee.

We talked about gnarly vert, strength work, Pain Academy (Checkout Episode 51 with Founder Vinny Crispino) , and how ultras can make us better versions of ourselves. The episode goes live tomorrow at 5:00AM EST so take us on your long run and get to know Aaron with us. Be sure to follow him on Instagram at @aar0ndana and let us know what your biggest takeaway is.
