We are all about the every day runner, and this week we get to talk to author, coach, race director Sid Garza-Hillman about his new book, Ultra Running for Normal People: Life Lessons Learned On and Off the Trail.  We dive into a few of the nine lessons covered in the book. 

As every day runners, you'll love Sid's perspective on the trails, which like many of us, he discovered later in life.  It's an episode you don't want to miss!

When we come across great films we know the Big Ass Runner Herd would enjoy, we must pass them along.

Both films are must-see.  The first, a fantastic ultra marathon documentary surrounding one of the top races in our sport.  The second, a feature film that is trail running adjacent, but is chalked full of valuable life lessons.

Jeff talks about them both on Episode 185 of the Big Ass Runner Trail Running Podcast.
