Host Scotty Sandow sits down with UltraRunning Magazine columnist Jared Beasley, an author and journalist who never expected to find himself embedded in the sport of ultrarunning and just wrote a new book called The Endurance Artist. The book offers an all-access pass to some of the world's most grueling races — and to the mastermind behind them: Gary Cantrell, better known as Lazarus Lake.
The Barkley Marathons is legendary — a secretive, punishing event with book checkpoints hidden in the woods, and an elevation gain equivalent to climbing Mount Everest twice.
And then there's Big's Backyard, where runners tackle a 4-mile loop every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains.
In The Endurance Artist, Jared uncovers the world of a reclusive figure (Laz) determined to rewrite the rules — challenging our ideas about success, failure and human potential.
The Endurance Artist is available now at bookstores everywhere.
