Leading up to the 2024 Western States 100 Endurance Race, ultra legends Ellie Greenwood and Ian Sharman share their incredible experiences at the Western States 100. Ellie, who set a new women’s record in her first WS100 in 2011, and Ian, with the record for the fastest cumulative time across 10 WS100 finishes, dive into their journeys into ultra running. They discuss their initial expectations, evolving gear and training techniques, and the critical importance of pacing, discipline, and mental focus. With insights from racing at the front, mid-pack, and back, they also highlight the joy of the race and finding moments of fun along the way.
