Running Stupid

Ken Michal's ultrarunning podcast is gloriously self-deprecating about a sport that desperately needs more self-awareness. He doesn't pretend ultrarunning is glamorous or that he's always good at it. The failure stories are consistently better than the success stories because they're told with humor and the humility of someone who's been humbled by hundred-mile races. If ultrarunning culture sometimes feels too earnest and too serious, Ken is the antidote. Honest, funny, and totally in love with a sport he cheerfully admits is objectively stupid.
