Nobody plans to become an ultrarunner. There’s no clear path into ultrarunning, no system, and most people don’t grow up anywhere near trail running culture. So how do people actually find their way into running 50 or 100 miles?
In this episode, Josh sits down with Emory Atterberry (founder of Hyperlyte Liquid Performance) and Cade Michael to explore how people from unlikely backgrounds end up in ultrarunning. From West Texas to mountain races, this conversation breaks down the mindset, environment, and turning points that pull people into the sport.
This is a conversation about identity, rebellion, and why ultrarunning attracts a certain type of person.
