Natalie Daniel is on her way to completing the B.R.U.T.E. (Blue Ridge Ultra Trail) Challenge. That is in one calendar year completing

• The Georgia Loop

 All of these are 60+ miles with tons of vertical gain!

All was well through The Foothills Trail & The Georgia Loop, but Natalie faced her first challenge when she slipped and fell and gashed her head on her first attempt of the Massanutten Loop. In this episode, hear about this mishap and how she came back for another attempt, what she learned, advice she has, and other epic stories she has to share!

Thank you Natalie!!!

Erick Martinez is a 26 years old who is relatively new to running (2018). Listen to the happiness in his voice! It's infectious. His joy for the sport is something we should all aspire to find. He took that joy and won the South Mountain 50k by taking the lead at half way point pushing and looking to find that point in which the effort would require him to push through the pain and cause him to truly suffer. Could he, did he find that breaking point? Here's not only that story, but his story. I hope you enjoy!
