Sage Canaday 2015 Interview

Sage Canaday has had quite a run at this ultra-thing, but he hasn’t yet tackled the hundred mile distance. Being Sage, he’ll make his debut on a big stage–UTMB–in just a few weeks, and Sarah and got to chat with him about training for the big race.

We also chat about:

His new book
Coaching
His #anysurfaceanydistance hashtag and how it can help you
His vegetarian diet
His aid station routine
Forming a rock band with other MUT runners (yes!)
The fine line sponsored athletes ride between just enough and far too much marketing.
In the banter section, Sarah fills me in about her wild month in Colorado, pacing at Hardrock, and more.

Sage is an extremely humble athlete, easy to talk to, does his homework with his races and will hopefully be part of the sport for a long time. Wishing him success at UTMB. Come on down to Texas and run rocky raccoon 100 in February 2016.

Did I miss where to sign up for Sage’s e-book drawing? You mentioned it on the podcast… but I haven’t seen the ‘register to win’ on the URP site.

“Sage…isn’t outgoing or super exciting…”
Sage might not have been offended by your unflattering follow-up to his gracious interview, but I would have.

  …and that’s part of the problem/benefit of having a candid “banter” section at the end of each episode. I/we offer real thoughts about the interview that aren’t filtered, and I suppose our recording schedule from that day made this particular comment sound a bit harsh. Sarah and I had interviewed Mark Tanaka and Stevie Kremer on the same day and ANYONE would sound mellow compared to those two.
  
  And by the way, “not outgoing and not super exciting” wasn’t meant as a pejorative, and I certainly hope others didn’t take it that way.
  
  As always, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
