I hope you enjoyed part one of the great storytelling with one of running’s legends, Roy Pirrung. Last episode I detailed some of Roy’s many incredible running achievements at a wide array of distances, and he and I talked about some of his many-varied experiences. In part two of this conversation we talk more about how the Italians tried to stop him from finishing a race, getting married in the Vatican, competing in the famous Spartathlon, running across the Gobi Desert with seven broken ribs, and how crazy a race is too crazy for Roy Pirrung. If things go according to his plan, he expects to outlive his centenarian aunt, and no doubt he’ll be running that entire time. I hope you’ll be entertained again in this episode by this tremendous ambassador of the sport of running.
