In this episode, we sit down with Justin Andreas, ultra runner, host of the Golden Hour Adventures podcast, and run coach. Since May of 2020, he has completed distances ranging from  50K to a hundred miles, and now has his sights set on the Cowboy 200 for September, 2025.

Join us as we dive into some of the challenges Justin has experienced in the sport, handling lows and the importance of keeping what we do as fun. Take us along on your next run and let us know what you picked up on that you have added to your own ultra running blueprint.

Jon Maaraoui's story will challenge and inspire you. Battling chronic illnesses that put him in a wheelchair in his early 20s, Jon took control of his life and started to learn how to walk, found the ultra running community and has been completing ultras over the past couple of years. His story is a story of overcoming obstacles and the power of believing in yourself. With the Arizona 300 and the triple crown of 200s on deck for 2025, you will be left wondering, what is possible for any of us, if we put our mind to something and start.
