## Resource

Forrest Gump premiered on June 23, 1994, then went on to get nominated for 13 Oscar awards, and Tom Hanks won for Best Actor. But according to Brendan Leonard ( semi-rad.com ), the real story is that this blockbuster film introduced millions of people to the sport of ultrarunning. So Brendan and Jonathan discuss that, plus what’s aged the best, what’s aged the worst, who needed BLISTER+ the most, and more.
