Leading up to the Zion 100 Miler in early 2024, I needed as much wisdom as possible. I had ran 9 100 milers at this point and DNFed 8 of them.
The 100 mile effort still burned in my heart but I had very little proof that I could do it again.
So I set out to talk to as many wise runners as possible and aggregated a few of the highlights in episode 3 of Trail Grit.
