#187: Brady Manriquez 3 -- Training for His First Ultra, 50k Mistakes & Triumphs

SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE!!! My buddy Brady Manriquez is in the middle of training for his very first ultramarathon- a 50k at the Booneville Backroads Ultra!! In this episode, Brady and I talk about the ups and downs of a 50k, what he should be ready for both mentally and physically, and I share mistakes I've made and lessons I've learned throughout my last seven years of ultrarunning. Prepare yourself for a conversation about chafing, drinking from mold infested water bottles, intense downpours of freezing rain, more chafing, something called "chub rub", shorts shaming, and, did I mention, chafing. This a fun, long chat with one of my best friends in the whole world. I hope you guys draw some wisdom from my misadventures but keep in mind that I am not a medical expert, sports scientist, or even an amazing ultrarunner....so please take all advice with a grain of salt!
