This week, meet the one and only Eric Strand (@lead_feet) on Instagram— an absolute ultra-running machine and the definition of what it means to push human limits. 🥇 (14)-time Double Grandma’s Marathon finisher* *This means that he runs from the finish to the start, then runs when the marathon actually starts, so that's 26.2 miles times 2 👟 (18)-time Boston Marathon qualifier and finisher - insane!!! 🗻 (8)-time Leadville Trail 100 finisher (with #9 coming this August!) - statistically speaking, this is like 1:1,000,000,000 😁 Fresh off completing the legendary Western States 100, one of the most difficult races in the world to gain entry into. (if you don't believe it, go check out how the race entry process works, it's nuts) From the Hennepin 100 to Tunnel Hill 100 and countless other ultra-distance races, Eric has built a resume that's nothing short of extraordinary. Michele Hartwig (She is the best most amazing race director!) In this episode, we dive into the mindset, determination, and grit it takes to keep showing up when most people would quit.
