I don't have to tell you what the Western States Endurance Run means to the ultrarunning community.  It is the super bowl, the Boston Marathon, World Cup, the World Series.....  And if you've listened to me gushing about the race and the energy on this podcast over the years, you will know how I feel about it.  Two amazing people, Carrie Meng, Assistant Race Director, finisher, and all around awesome human, and John Trent, journalist, 11-time finisher. author, and again, just an awesome, passionate human, have started a podcast.  It is called "The Spirit of Western States".  They will discuss history, rules, lottery, crewing best practices, all the things.  The will serve as great information for runners and crews preparing for their trip to the mecca of ultrarunning, and also for volunteers and rabid fans like me who can't get enough.  Enjoy getting to know these two ultrarunners and their new podcast!
