In this episode we talk with Adam Merry. Adam is a professional Trail Runner for Saucony based in Golden, CO.
We reflect on his performance at the recent Bandera 100K, increasing representation in our sport, all the usual questions I have about the state of our sport because Adam is so tuned in, and more.
Adam is a great dude and one of the most mission-oriented people in our sport I have come across. I think it will shine through in this episode.
