Mike Smith recently ran his 200th 100 miler at Umstead, which was his first 100 over 20 years ago. Mike shares what keeps him running 100s, what he's learned about training, nutrition, and himself over all of those miles. He also shares some thoughts on what he thinks is important for people that are getting ready to tackle their first 100, and answers the big question of "why"?

This was a really fun chat with a man who is in so many ways is the embodiment of the trail and ultra running community. Get ready to love Mike Smith.
