Summary
Ultra running promises performance, progress, and control. But for a lot of people, it’s filling a gap that normal life doesn’t. This episode explores what ultra running actually gives people and why it becomes something they need, not just something they do. Joshua Landvatter and Kaden Coleman are attempting four 100-mile races in one summer. They both have real lives, real responsibilities, and no interest in chasing podiums. What comes out of this conversation is something deeper than training or racing, and it reframes what this sport really is. This one’s for runners who feel like comfort isn’t enough and are looking for something more. Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review. If you’re new to Borderlands, start here .
