Failing vs. Quitting

You Said 100 Miles? started as the story of Bucket Hat Bob diving into the world of ultrarunning. It started with a couch to 5K in 2020, and just kept escalating through finishing a 100 mile race in 2023.  Originally envisioned as a limited series, the community has kept Bucket Hat Bob on the air.  Season 1 with co-host Sass is the original run and story of that build.  Season 2 is some experimental interviewing.  Today, we're continuing season 3 with co-host KJ covering all sorts of ultrarunning topics (and museums) along with guests from the running community along the way.  Come to the trails.  We have snacks!
