Welcome to The Runegade Podcast: we’re set to explore the human connection with running, by practicing the lost art of storytelling - big stories, guest interviews and our own experiences - we're your hosts Mark Prociw and Todd Marentette

On Episode 2 -- Casey Thivierge joins the podcast. He's a father, husband, an ultra runner, with a successful career ... and now Casey is an author.

Casey started running 18-years ago, after a bet with his sister in-law, and completed his first marathon a year later. Contrary to most, Casey progressed down in distance, before ramping back up to marathons and started running ultra marathons in the Spring of 2013.

Casey is a humble runner, he likes to say it's not about the finish times, but the training and experience and we couldn't agree more. To say Casey has trail chops, would be an drastic understatement.

(21) Runs of more than 100-miles, with (7) of them sub 24-hour. Burning River 100, Indiana Trail 100, Cloudsplitter 100, Mohican 100, Eastern States 100, Big Dog Backyard, Tunnel Hill 100, Hellbender 100, First Annual weUltra Run, Quebec Mega Trail, Burning River 100, Western States and The Wild Oak Trail - it might be easier to list the races Casey hasn't run.

We talk about Casey's running and writing journey, which led him to publishing his first book Running and Rambling: a decade of chronicles and reflection.

Our first guest, and a new friend of the Podcast - we can all learn from Casey's experiences. He may not know it, but Casey will be our goto for anything ultra running related.

We're happy you joined us, and thank you to Casey - keep on Running and Rambling.
