SPECIAL EPISODE: Typically I interview folks about their first ultramarathon, and usually they’ve ran that ultramarathon recently. Not today. If you were to see Jorge at the grocery store, you’d have no idea that he’s run 240 miles 3 times. He works an ordinary job and he isn’t paid to run. He’s the ultimate example of an ordinary person who has become an elite ultra runner over the years. Listen to todays episode to learn how Jorge got into running ultramarathons and the inspiring and whacky story of Jorge running 240 miles in the desert of Moab, Utah.
