355: Hayden Hawks Spills the Beans on Western States 100
“If I’m not good enough to get a golden ticket to get back into Western States, I’m probably not good enough to win the event. And for me, I want to win the event.”
Hayden Hawks is a professional ultra runner, coach, and family man with a long list of accomplishments. In this episode, Luis is joined by Michael Salsbury and they chat with Hayden about, how he found out about Western States 100, his goal and vision for running Western States, running and winning 9 Trails, his involvement and relationship with Hoka, getting into Western States, how to plan for long races, crew strategy, embracing all the things the race throws at you, dealing with the media, what to do just days before the race, what to do on race day, and running strategies.
