This episode features world class ultra-runners Ben Light and McKnight.  They discuss their journeys as endurance athletes and the some of the crazy running challenges they cook up as running buddies.  Next up for them is an FKT challenge on the Arizona Trail (800 miles and 100,000' + elevation gain).  They have some really cool things they are doing to spice things up including helping out a couple really awesome non-profits.  Listen for all the other details!  They both are coaches, so they also share awesome tips.

This episode is dedicated to my beloved best furry friend, Elvis.  He has been my best buddy for 14 years and he will be missed.  RIP little buddy.  

Episode 4 is all about races.  I recap the Carolina Reaper Ghost Pepper Challenge 50k, presented by Upstate Ultras and talk to their RD, Matt Hammersmith.  He talks about some of their upcoming races and the efforts they are making to build up an awesome running community in upstate South Carolina.  He is also a coach, Without Limits, and offers some great advice on making running a lifestyle.  

Afterwards, I pretty much just freestyle, talking about my past 16 marathons, 7 ultras, and a few other special races.
