In this episode, it’s all about the FKTs. We’ll be chatting with the man that has held all three FKTs for the Sheltowee Trace, Jason Wish about training, understanding your body and pushing through the pain. We’ll also be hanging out with his trainer, Jeff Garmire, who is no stranger to FKTs. He’s also the only man alive who has run trail races in Crocs and/or a dress. Tonight should be a great one!
