What drives someone to run 100 miles through the rugged terrain of the Sierra Nevada mountains? Discover the extraordinary story of Gordy Ainsleigh, whose determination transformed the Tevis Cup horse race into the legendary Western States Endurance Run. This episode takes you back to the origins of ultra-endurance running, tracing its evolution and celebrating the relentless spirit of the athletes who dare to push their physical and mental limits.

We'll talk with Tate Taylor, native Texan and Ogden transplant, about his running of the Hoka Bandera 100K several times, including his personal best 14-hour finish time. From rigorous training regimens and navigating the challenging Bandera landscape to the profound emotional highs and lows of race day, this story offers a unique perspective on the world of ultra-endurance sports.

Tate and I will explore the intersection of physical discipline and spiritual growth, emphasizing the importance of holistic well-being and building a community for disciplined, perseverant Christian men.
