On this episode of Le Run Down I had an eye opening conversation with ultra runner, Jerry Hughes.
He overcame adversity far before getting into running, pushing forward through his diagnosis and treatment for Gardner's Syndrome.
He used running as a way to improve his health and quickly realized endurance was for him. From marathons, to 100 milers and now the Canadian 48 hour record, he's inspiring the run community and proving that we are all capable of so much more than we think.
