My guest today is Gene Dykes – Gene is a 73 year old world record endurance runner.  Gene took up ultra-running – which is basically anything longer than a 26.2 mile marathon – late in life and holds multiple world records at multiple distances.  Join us this week to hear how Gene ran three sub-3 hour marathons at age 70, and how at age 73 he’s trying to run a little further – or a little faster – every week, every month, and every year.  Gene gives us a fascinating glimpse into the world of extreme endurance and ultra-running, and even shares some great tips for any of you out there crazy enough to take up ultra running after 50.You can learn more about Gene here:Instagram – @genewdykesFacebook – @ gene.dykes.1Website – www.ultrageezer.com We discussed the following during this episode:Maurten Sports Fuel - https://www.maurten.com/Maurten 320 Drink Mix - https://www.maurten.com/products/drink-mix-320-box-usBigfoot 200 Race Website - https://www.bigfoot200.com/Bigfoot 200 2021 Race Tracker - https://www.bigfoot200.com/2021-live-tracking.html
