Bigfoot 200 with Patrick Hallahan: Dark Miles and Breakthrough Moments

Ultramarathoner Patrick Hallahan returns to the Co-Movement Gym Podcast after an epic finish at the Bigfoot 200. In Part 1 of this two-part episode, Patrick walks us through the grueling 200-mile race across Washington’s Cascade Mountains, where bonks, hallucinations, wildlife encounters, and one-hour of total sleep tested his limits. We dive deep into fueling struggles, mindset shifts, and the lessons only a 200-miler can teach.

Patrick is an ultramarathon athlete, residing in Syracuse, NY, who recently completed the Bigfoot 200, a grueling 200-mile trail race in Washington state. He finished 22nd overall, in a time of 2d:17h:54m:56s – an incredible performance.
