Elite ultrarunner and overall endearing human being Tim Tollefson joins us to share details about the new Mammoth Trail Fest, which promises to be an epic, European-style event, and how the idea came to fruition. He also doles out advice about how to run Western States, where he placed fifth last year and will be running again this year. Tim talks about what he learned about himself, which may pivot how your approach ultras and life, for that matter.
