The One Where He Ran Across Utah

Mason Wright—aka The Buff Runner—is back on the podcast after doing the unthinkable: running 421 miles across the entire state of Utah. In this episode, we break down the run mile by mile, pain cave by pain cave, from the early injury scare to the final steps across state lines.
Mason opens up about the mental game behind multi-day suffering, what surprised him most out there in the desert, and why he still thinks the best is yet to come. We talk fuel (spoiler: it’s not all clean eating), gear, the dark moments, the spiritual highs, and what it's like to carry momentum into planning a transcontinental run across the U.S.
This is a deep dive into what it takes—not just to start something big—but to finish it.
