I was very excited to sit down with Luke Paulson after he beasted his way to 2nd place overall at the Leadville Trail 100 Run this past weekend. Leadville 100 is an iconic race that starts at 10,200 feet and climbs to 12,600 feet. And as stated on their website, "Today, the Life Time Leadville Trail 100 RUN presented by La Sportiva is one of the oldest, most storied endurance running events in the world." Our conversation starts out with a little background on Luke, but I couldn't wait to dig into every detail of his experience at Leadville. Thank you, Luke, for sharing and putting up with all my curiosity! Way to represent Western North Carolina out in Colorado! Loved getting to know you and can't wait to see you out on the trails (but I will never race you, that's for sure)!
