    Ep 440: How to Finish Your Next Race Much Faster with Karl Meltzer

    Ep 440: How to Finish Your Next Race Much Faster with Karl Meltzer

    November 1, 2019
    1h 11m

    Karl Meltzer just won his record 41st 100-mile race in October at the Cloudsplitter 100- the most of any other person! He joins The Nation with Andy Jones-Wilkins to discuss one way to potentially shave HOURS off your next 100-mile finish. His philosophy: KISS- Keep is Stupid Simple. Trail running is a very simple and primitive sport that we might be making way too complicated and difficult. Making choices in your gear, drop bags, crew, pacing and aid station management can shave hour(s) off your time.  It might make it a more enjoyable experience too.
