Ultrarunning’s 2015 Year in Review with Karl Hoagland, Sarah, and Eric

Karl-02015 has been quite a year for the sport of ultrarunning.  We’ve seen great performances by veterans, runners of all levels enter the sport, and even seen some controversy that we’ll likely be dealing with for the long run.  During the past twelve months, URP released 54 episodes and those interviews, in addition the rest of the MUT media tribe, have given us plenty of fodder for lively conversation.

Ultrarunning Magazine Publisher and Western States Endurance Run Board Member Karl Hoagland joined Sarah and I to discuss standout performance, surprises, trends, and influential runners in our sport.  Who stood out this year? Who should we watch next year? John Trent is the answer to one question, Zach Miller the other…What were the questions. What are the trends that will affect our sport int he coming year?

Episode Notes:

Destination TrailThis episode brought to you by Destination Trail Runs, the good folks behind Tahoe 200 and Bigfoot 200.  Tahoe is one of my favorite places on earth, and I’m lucky enough to be running Tahoe 200 in September. Care to join me?
