Episode 034: New Leadville 100 Course Record, Tamalpa Headlands 50K, and FKT Updates

Today we start off talking about David Roche’s Leadville 100 course record that he set on Saturday, breaking a record that has stood since 2005.  Also it was David’s debut 100 miler which is a bit surprising since he has been around the ultrarunning world for so long.  We also go over race results from Leadville, Tamalpa Headlands 50K, Squamish 50/50K, and the Marquette Trail 50/50K.  Then we discuss Jim Walmsley’s return to UTMB and talk about Harvey Lewis and what he recently accomplished.  We go into a discussion on which race is the toughest between Western States 100, Badwater 135, and Bigfoot 200.  Then we go over the FKT updates and through runs for Tara Dower, Mike Wardian, and Bronco Billy (Jeff Browning).  We end the show looking at some of the video footage of Leadville posted by Matt Choi on his Instagram account.
