Not only is Jesse Fuller an experienced ultra runner, he is outstanding at what he does. Through his screening, Jesse will recognize where we lack strength and mobility and prescribe a regiment that will help us either return to running or keep us running healthy and strong. Let me be clear, Jesse does not diagnose injury, just help us return from an injury that has already been predetermined by a medical professional. Learn more in this episode.

This is the 2nd time I've had Ben on the podcast, and the third time I've had his wife Allison on. They are both amazing people doing awesome things. The reason this episode came to light was because we didn't think Ben was going to line up less than 2 weeks from the start of the race. This is the story of how that came to be and how Ben found the finish line through all of it!

Both can be found on Strava under their respective names.

I start this episode with a short segment on Cross Country & how to get involved with your local team. In the 2nd segment, I speak on Relays, what they are, what to expect, and what to bring. Having just completed the Blue Ridge Relay with a 12 person team, this topic was fresh in my mind.

The long run is one of keys to your training for your goal event. It often simulates best what the goal event will actually be like. We should take notes and analyze these runs to help us succeed in future long runs and especially our goal event!
