This is the first of 4 episodes about the growing popularity of backyard ultras.  I have a conversation with Mike Melton, owner of MCM Timing.  He is not only the best race timer in the business, he has been involved in every single Big's Backyard Ultra.  Big's was the original, and now there are over 400 backyard races in over 70 countries.  Also a check-in with Kassy Coan, participant of #100mileswithmartyproject.  She tells us what she's been up to in her 2nd month of prep for her first 100 miler. MCM Timing and Results LLC : : my.race|result (raceresult.com)Squirrel's Nut Butter | All Natural Anti Chafing & Skin Restoration Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)Home - MetProSt. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)Don't Just Run, Run Fluent (dontjustrun.com)Run Natural CoachJeff Galloway | The official site of Run-Walk-RunRun 4 a Reason's Rough Runners – Run with your tribe (roughrunnersr4r.com)Revolution Running Co. – Run fast.
