Adam Peterman on Winning Western States 100 and His Keys to Success

Adam Peterman took the ultra running world by storm when he became the new champion of the legendary Western States 100 race this past June, adding to his already impressive resume in the running world. Having won every single ultra he’s participated in, HOKA athlete Adam Peterman has solidified himself as one of the best athletes in the ultra running sport to date. Not only did he win Western States (which was his first 100 miler ever to make things even more impressive), he also won the Canyons 100k, the JFK 50 miler, and the Speedgoat 50k by breaking Jim Walmsley’s seemingly unreachable course record. All back-to-back-to-back. The dude is on such a hot streak! In this episode, I joined Adam in his hometown of Missolua, Montana where he recapped his entire Western States experience, along with his biggest takeaways of what led to his success during his epic win. Adam covers it all in this episode: from incredible race stories at Western, to training tips and strategies, to mindset and the mental game; it’s all in this episode. And it’s definitely my favorite episode that we’ve done to date. This is also Adam’s second appearance on the Everyday Ultra podcast - so if you’re interested in learning more about his background and training philosophy, feel free to tune in to the episode we did with him earlier in the year! Huge thank you to Adam Peterman for making this interview happen! He is one of the kindest dudes I’ve met in the ultra community and such an awesome friend.
