E53: Matt Lipsey | Opportunity Is Often Disguised As Misfortune

Matt Lipsey is my guest.  I’d argue he’s one of the top sub-ultra trail runners east of the Mississippi.  And as the terrain gets steeper and gnarlier, he further separates himself from the crowd.  Evidence his four wins at the infamous 7 Sisters Trail Race in Western, MA.  A course that has chewed up and spit out many a trail runner (yours included).  His last win there occurring in May of 2022 when he posted the 5th fastest time in history.  All of that is remarkable enough, but when you consider that seventeen months earlier he was stricken with a mysterious illness that left him nearly incapacitated, his place among the sports legendary figures is solidified.  This is his story.
