Ep. 11: Conquering a DNF on your first 100-mile ultramarathon with Michael Todd

You know what’s harder than running a 100-mile ultramarathon? The sweepers catching up to you at mile 95 and getting pulled from the race. Michael Todd had set his eyes on the Wasatch 100 ultramarathon for years and his time finally came! But, as we do when we are new to a sport, he made some mistakes that cost him his finisher's buckle. Tune in to hear how Todd went from high school track, to a marathon, to running ultramarathons, and hear Michael’s heartbreaking and triumphant story of conquering the Wasatch 100 ultramarathon.

Other topics include Michael’s running backstory, his first ultramarathon (Speedgoat 50k), balancing running with work, making your own gels and other running nutrition, finding your forever pace, and finding your love for running.

Michael Todd is 39 years old and lives in Salt Lake City, UT. He works as a manufacturing coordinator for medical supplies and also teaches yoga online (see links below).
