‘I’d Rather Bushwhack Than Run a Road’, with Jeremy Anderson

This is Singletrack Episode 241:

Just a handful of runners finished this year’s Mount Baker Ultra race and Jeremy Anderson was one of them. He joins Singletrack to talk about one of the nuttiest racing days the Pacific Northwest has seen in awhile. Jeremy shares his motivation to find that flow state while running long in the mountains. And we talk about the practical preparation and planning required to keep one safe.

What race directory Dan Probst is doing by bringing this historic event back to life is just incredible. Following their Instagram account to witness the prep for race day and then the insane weather conditions they had to deal with is awe-inspiring. If you’re in anyway interested in racing up series mountains, this race is something to put on your calendar.
