This week on the I Don't Know Running Podcast, Lewis and Mitch dive into one of the most exciting Western States Endurance Runs in recent memory! 🏃‍♂️🔥 From Caleb Olson's near-record finish and Killian Jornet's incredible comeback, to Mitch’s return to running (kind of) and Lewis’ big plans—this episode is packed with updates, insight, laughs, and just enough cautionary advice about training too hard too soon.

We also talk about:
✅ The top 10 men’s and women’s results
✅ FKTs and what happened with John Kelly
✅ Pacers vs. no pacers at the elite level
✅ That emotional final hour at the finish line
✅ Why running in extreme heat isn’t as crazy as it sounds

👉 Let us know in the comments: What moment from Western States 2025 got you fired up?
