Episode Synopsis

On this episode of the Blueprint to Ultra Podcast we get to know everyone's favorite Crew Chief from helping Paul Johnson complete the transcontinent run and Matt Johnson's transtexas run. We talk about what it takes to lead a crew in these types of multi day events and how to treat every day as Day 1. But, Rob is also an accomplished ultra runner in his own right. We talk about experiences in his 200 mile races as well as what it was like to be the world record holder for the Antartica 100.


Block out some time to listen this episode and learn the importance of voluntary hardship, the power of visualization, and the best ways to stay motivated and prepared during winter training. Rob's insights on being both an ultra runner and a crew chief provide valuable lessons for anyone looking to complete their own ultra running goals.
