In Episode 111, we talk about the amazing feats of endurance and mental strength of David Kilgore. As an ultra runner, David is no stranger to putting in hundreds of miles per week under his belt. He tells us about his training for some of the most gruelling races in the world, dealing with everything from heat exhaustion, altitude changes and creatively fueling himself. We discuss David’s training and his use of different footwear for different training and competition scenarios. Thankfully, David has managed to stay relatively injury free. As such, we talk about his approach to training intelligently for maintaining a long running career and lifestyle, while at the same time, not taking life or running too seriously.

David Kilgore, born in UK, raised in Florida and currently residing in NYC, is a runner of all trades from shorter distance races on the road/track to long ultra-distance on the trails. David placed third at the 2018 USATF 50K Trail Championships, won the 2018 Breakneck Point 42K and has a 50K PB of a mind-boggling 3:01. In 2019 he came in 4th at the USATF Trail Championships at Fourmidable 50k in California, made the 2019 USA Trail world team and ran a double marathon in Rio De Janeiro in 5:40:02 in ON Running CloudStratus shoes. He has accomplished all of this with a go-with-the-flow approach — running mostly by feel and finding inspiration simply by exploring new areas by foot.
