This week I connect with Brandon Crites who I connected with through my 26 Weeks series. He is a father, husband, business owner, and training to run his first 100-mile ultramarathon. We talk about how he balances training for an ultra with all of the other responsibilities he has with family and recently starting a new business.  Follow Brandon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitfamilyhabit/

This week I talk with ultra runner and YouTube creator Terry Eldien (TRE RUNS) about his training and racing experiences. He has been racing ultra's for 5 years and competed in more than 20 ultras of all distances including ten 100-mile races including Western States in 2018. He is currently training for the Zion 100 which takes place the second week of April 2019.
