Episode 75: Hayden Hawks - Chasing The Dream At Western States

The Ultra Running Guys

Hayden Hawks is the real deal. With wins and course records at races like UTMB CCC and the JFK 50, it's no wonder that Hayden is a strong contender for the win at the upcoming Western States Endurance Run 100 on June 24th. And it's something he has been dreaming about for a long time. But even with goals that big, it didn't take long to see that there is much more to Hayden than simply being a fast runner. He is a dedicated family man who holds tight to his faith, all while being a student of Ultra and sharpening his craft daily. He embraces the process as much as he savors the races, and his passion is contagious. Take us on your long run and hear what Hayden has been doing to prepare for Western States, along with his advice and tactical tips for being the best we can be out on the trail. We have no doubt that it will be well worth your while.
