In episode 13 we speak with Jacob Puzey, who set a world record in 2016 for running 50 miles in 4:57:45 on a treadmill, beating the record of 5:57:31 by nearly an hour. He is also a six-time national champion in cross-country, road and ultra championships, and has three top 10 national trail 50K championships on his resume.

He is a husband, father, runner, coach, race director for Peak Run Performance, TranSelkirks Run, and 5 Peaks and a podcaster.

We dive into some of his pivotal running experiences, and talk about diversity and representation in trail running.

Jacob’s brother Tommy was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of Lymphoma. He is receiving treatment under the guidance and expertise of some of the leading lymphoma physicians in the world. You can support Tommy and Steph and their daughters through their go fund me page and the craftsports collection.
