“I’m really fucking good at ignoring pain.” Michael Versteeg is a bad ass professional distance runner sponsored by Satisfy. Hear about him building tiny homes, why he walked off the Colorado Trail after completing over 400 miles, his musical tastes, microdosing and why he will never tape his nipples. David Valenzuela gives his best advice for making the thru-hike on the A.T. He talks about wearing sandals and all the lessons he learned on the trail. Barefoot Ted McDonald is the owner of Luna Sandals and pivotal character in the book Born To Run. Support Road Dog Podcast by: 1.
