journey. And, sometimes, if you are like us, you may not know what that next step may look like.

Races can come in all different types of formats with varying distances, duration, and locations. Training for ultras often includes

considerations for heat training, elevation, and altitude changes. But

there are those gems out there that turn the equation around and

challenge runners to the other extreme. Welcome to the world of cold.

We'd like to introduce you to the Frigid Fox which takes place in

January and is a 63 mile trek along the Ice Age Trail in Southeastern

Wisconsin with an elevation gain of a little over 7000 feet. The race

has a 24 hour cutoff which seems like a generous cutoff until you

understand how harsh the weather can be in Wisconsin in January. Part of signing up for this race is that runners acknowledge an understanding that the weather can be unforgiving. That's what makes this race unique and one heckuva challenge we think.

Join us as we sit down with Dustin Schmidt, the Race Director of the

Frigid Fox to tell us all about it.

If you like the show, leave us a comment or rating to help others hear about it. We appreciate you taking the time to join us.
