Ep. 96: Ultra Runner Matt Johnson Unpacks his Run Across Texas (841mi in Less Than 18 Days)

Matt Johnson is an ultra runner, veteran and literal comedy show in human form. We sit down 5 weeks after his "Run Across Texas" which was 841 miles of running -- completed in 17 days, 9 hours and 3 minutes. This idea came to Matt 13 months prior to the run. We unpack the details of preparation as well as get a glimpse of the experiences on the road. Matt chose to complete this to raise funds for Valorfit, a nonprofit organization for veteran aid (link below). He approaches each topic with a level of vulnerability and honesty that is nothing short of inspiring... as if the feat in itself wasn't enough. Stay tuned with Matt's social media (link below) to get updates for the documentary film releasing in 2025.

 

Thank you Matt. It was an honor to host this conversation.
