Jeremy Hinshaw is a trail runner in Anchorage, Alaska who runs everything from the wild and wacky 3.5 mile Mount Marathon to the Susitna 100 miler in the dead of winter.

We talk about surviving versus enjoying freezing weather and special precautions taken to survive the cold.    He also tells some amazing stories about hallucinations during races that pitted his physical self against his mental self.  

Jeremy retells a few stories about some harrowing encounters with moose, and offers us basic tips on avoiding dangerous wildlife encounters while on the Alaskan trails.
