#250: Becoming an Ultra Runner - with Ian Sharman

The BibRave Podcast

We welcome podcast fav and ultrarunning legend, Ian Sharman, back to the show this week! Ian recently hosted Tim and Jess at his home in Bend where the three discussed a ton of running-related topics (including Ian razzing Tim for not running or racing more 😏).

They talk about the new show Ian is hosting, Podium Runner Endurance, his coaching business (Sharman Ultra Coaching, which had a banner 2020), stories of newly-minted ultra runners, how Ian helps people enter the sport, and running adversity (mental and physical). As usual, Ian delivers with interesting insights, running commentary, and an amazing overall perspective on running and life.
