Today’s Marathon & Beyond Monday edition is a tale written by ultra-marathon pioneer Gordy Ainsleigh. Gordy is the man who — in 1974 — took part in the Western States 100-Mile One-Day Ride … without a horse. Since then, the story has been told and re-told, but only one person knows the full truth. That person is Gordy. We hear that story “Inventing 100-mile Trail Racing” in today’s edition. Today’s podcast is brought to you by Sock Geek.

I have never come across such great online content as you have written on this site. I’m intrigued by many of your points and agree with a lot of them. Keep up the good work.
