When childhood friend Brayden Mills steps into the world of ultra-marathon running, he brings a couple of cans of Athletic Brewing and a story of transformation that's as inspiring as it is sweat-inducing. Join us as we ring in the new year with a deep exploration of Brayden's journey, where gym routines morph into the mental and physical odyssey of trail racing. Our chat isn't just about the miles logged or the landscapes conquered; it's a candid look at the essence of recovery, the joy of pushing past limits, and the universal nature of athletic discipline.

From hockey and high school memories to the defining moments that shape us, this episode unearths the life lessons tucked within the trials of endurance racing. We celebrate the joys of the process, dissect the competitive spirit that fuels ultra runners, and acknowledge the financial realities nibbling at the heels of those chasing podium dreams. It's a winding trail of anecdotes and insights, where Brayden and Dave traverse the topics of community, family influence, and the power of a goal that keeps you lacing up day after day.

Finally, to those poised at the starting line of their athletic ventures, we offer a rallying cry: seize the day, seize the dream. With a plethora of resources at your disposal in this digital age, the path from an ambitious goal to a triumphant finish is but a plan and a promise away. So, listen in, get inspired, and perhaps, you'll find yourself sharing your very own remarkable journey with us on a future episode.
