TT011: Lessons from Ultrarunner Will Laughlin

Subscribe via iTunes In episode 11 of the Triathlete Training Podcast I interview ultrarunner Will Laughlin In July 2013 Will Laughlin did a 300 mile run in the Mojave Desert.  Will wanted to follow the same route the Mojave Indians used to travel to the Pacific Coast.  He planned to do the run in 4 days, but he was prepared for a 6 day trip with his 4 person support team. The run started in Laughlin, Nevada but did not go as planned.  It was hotter than normal with temps reaching 116 degrees.  The team got lost, the vehicles overheated, and the sand made for worse running than expected.  Will shares the lessons learned on this expedition. Part of Will’s motive for doing this run was to raise money for food for malnourished children.  He is launching a peanut butter company called Moyo, and his products will be for sale at Moyopb.com starting in August. For every ounce of peanut butter they sell, Moyo will donate one ounce to malnourished children across the world. The journal and video entries of his run are located at http://moyopb.com/blog/mojave/ Ultrarunning Books WIll Recommends Born to Run by Christopher McDougall Running For My Life by Ray Zahab Finding Ultra by Rich Roll Subscribe via iTunes
