Triple Corwn of 200s w/ Dr Ben Gans, More Metrics in Your Training & An Interview with Ambrin Saft on Her Cross Country Season - Episode 271

1 hour 57 minutes

Another big episode with lots of show notes!

We start with my interview of Dr Ben Gans and his amazing journey through the Triple Crown of 200s (Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200, & Moab 240). We go deep into the challenges he faced in this series of races. I loved this conversation!

Then I dive deeper in to the metrics of running and how they can affect your base training period.

Lastly, I interview my daughter, Ambrin Saft, after she completed her Freshman season of Cross Country.

Enjoy!
