Podcast Episode #45: Matt Feldhake on Ultra Running and The Steep Life Challenge

In this episode, I talk with an old friend, Matt Feldhake. Matt was a 4 year Student Athlete (Cross Country, Indoor Track, Outdoor Track) at Eastern Illinois University. He has undergrad and Master's degrees in Exercise Science, and completed his undergraduate internship with the Indiana Invaders professional running club, which is where we crossed paths. He finished his first Marathon in 2012, and his first Ultra Marathon in 2016. We discuss how he trains for Ultra's, how he will accumulate 50,000 feet of vertical gain in the month of February, and some of the things we both learned as interns working with post-collegiate middle distance runners.
