Tom Evans | Basics Done Well Sep 23, 2020

Show notes

Tom Evans is a British ultrarunner who has made a very quick and impressive mark on the sport in the last few years. Without a background in running, Tom found trail and ultrarunning while serving in the British military when he signed up for the Marathon des Sables on a drunken whim. Incredibly, he finished third, launching him on his amazing career trajectory. Recently, Tom ran a 1:03 half marathon, showing his range and talent in shorter races as well. I hope this conversation gives you all a glimpse into the mind of one of the world's best and someone who represents the future of professional trail and ultrarunning.

Show notes

Jason Schalrb is an ultrarunner from Durango, CO. He's been a friend and fellow competitor for many years. Jason recently won the IMTUF 100 miler in Idaho, which initially motivated this discussion. While we do talk about that in some detail, the bulk of the conversation confronts the human side of the sport. Jason shares some recent struggles he's dealt with, how he processed them, and how the experience made him a better person. We also talk about aging as an athlete and how to stay at our best through that process.

Tyler Green is an ultrarunner from Portland, OR. On Monday 8/24, Tyler broke the fastest known time on the Wonderland Trail -- a spectacular 90ish mile circumnavigation of Mt. Rainier.

He managed to break the record by more than five hours, changing the paradigm of what's possible on the route. Even more impressively, he did the record completely unsupported. Hear the story of this insane performance from Joey in his own words.
