“It was a good experience. I loved it. My legs were fucking done by 25 miles in, and I was shaking walking up the hill because my legs couldn’t take any more beating.”

Erik Koenig, a former U.S. Army infantryman and accomplished ultramarathoner, is widely respected in the running community for his experience as both a military veteran and elite endurance athlete. In this episode, Erik chats with Luis about Lompoc California, working in the penitentiary system, the mental strain he deals with, the importance of running in his life, how he discovered trail running, a bad experience he had at Hurt 100, his relationship with Hammer Nutrition, and the Island View Endurance Run.ma
