2000 Mile Western States Silver Buckle - Dan Williams Apr 16, 2016

Show notes

Every runner has a mentor. Dan Williams is a mentor for more people than he realizes. Imagine your training partner is Ann Trason, as you work through strategies to negotiate a 100 Miles through heat, hills and miscellaneous chaos. After countless miles, mishaps and success you end up with some serious trail knowledge.

Now imagine sitting down and talking to them. One wearing a 2000 mile silver buckle and the other, owner of a a-one-of-a-kind 1000 Mile silver buckle converted by WS into a bracelet. Dan and Ann drop some of this knowledge on this podcast. This is one for the archives. Thank you Dan and Ann!

Special co-hosts Sally McRae and Ann Thilges.
