RaceMob - Running Together Podcast

#62 - John Burton is an ultramarathoning badass!  Not only is this ultra-fit speed demon from Michigan known to rock the speedo from time to time, but what really struck me is how humble and warm John really is.

Sure, he has so many race wins, podium finishes, and has absolutely crushed a number of different events.  But John also highlights the numerous times that races didn't go his way.

We often talk about the GRIT needed to achieve your best, to dust yourself off when you fall, and become a better version of yourself.  John has this in spades, and it's so evident throughought the conversation.  Maybe it was highlighted the most when we talked in detail about his participation in the Barkley Marathon - a race known for being the most grueling on the planet!

Where only the most elite are invited, and after hearing his story - you'll understand why.  Shortly after recording this episode - we found out that John suffered a fairly significant injury - so we want to wish him a speedy recovery.

We're also happy to announce that John will be a weekly RaceMob contributor!  John will be answering your running questions in a weekly column on our site.  So subscribe to our newsletter to ask questions and see John's answers.
