On this episode of Le Run Down I had a fun chat with Ultra Runner and Western States competitor, Eric Senseman.

He currently resides in Flagstaff Arizona, where he trains with some of the best athletes on the planet and is a very impressive runner in his own right.

In this conversation Eric speaks about his breakthroughs and his struggles in the sport he loves so much. And breaks down the Western States race and his thoughts leading up to his 3rd appearance at the historic 100 miler.
