Summary
Last week we discussed Forrest Gump, a film that Brendan Leonard believes introduced millions of people to ultrarunning. Today, Cody and Jonathan discuss what many regard as the greatest ultra film of all time, ‘ Unbreakable: The Western States 100 .’ It documents the 2010 running of Western States, and the 2025 race happens this Saturday, June 28.
