Join us for another TWO PART podcast, where we interview Ryan Head BEFORE his first 100 mile race and AFTER his first 100 mile race. Ryan shares his story about how he got into running in the first place (and lost 75lbs), and eventually how he became an ultrarunner. In this episode, you'll get some training tools, some life advice, and will learn a little bit more about mental health and about the mental game of ultrarunning.
