| Michael Wardian | BYP 073 | 02 Mar 2022 | 01:42:40 | |
My guest today Michael Wardian has long been on my list of athletes I've wanted to converse with because he very well might be the new Most Interesting Man In The World. Beyond his running resume and achievements - of which there are many including running 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days (all under 3 hours), being the last man standing at the Quarantine Backyard Ultra during the Covid shutdowns (260+ miles in over 63 hours) and multiple world records...he also manages to carry a full-time job, a wife, 2 sons and multiple different hobbies and passions outside of endurance sports. Today, we attempt to unpack as much of it that we can, find out how he recovers so quick, how to get out of low moments during races, who he enjoys competing against and what's exactly in store for what may be his biggest endurance feat yet: running across America this May 1st from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean in a project called "Running Home". All to raise money for clean water projects to underdeveloped countries. + To Donate: https://bit.ly/3Mqx00W + YouTube Interview: https://youtu.be/aQu__82yDdg + Quarantine Backyard Ultra: https://youtu.be/loGR3Rh6fRE + Cooper Kupp: https://youtu.be/2I3CHKBcJbw + Sean McVay's Photographic Memory: https://youtu.be/IjlfQBQk_kg ______ | |||

We chat over his growing up in Phoenix, how he found ultrarunning, how being a father shifted his priorities, some of the pressures and pitfalls of being a content creator...and much more! We also have a phone chat with Zach Bitter about being a fat-adapted athlete and I end the show with a few words about Nathan Sexton who tragically lost his battle with brain cancer. :: The Year the Barkley Won https://youtu.be/dRpEE-82bWc :: Chasing Walmsley https://youtu.be/T_rDA-7E_ys :: Alexis Berg's Barkley Film https://bit.ly/2I6UF4B :: Desert Solstice https://youtu.be/gcD9Jo_FAVI :: "Fight Like Nate" https://youtu.be/BHyJe1GQ3ns ______ Patreon.com/BillyYang Instagram.com/BillyYangPod Twitter.com/BillyYang Facebook.com/BillyYangPodcast | |||

Chris and Alicia Vargo's journeys before their paths converged in Flagstaff were filled with pain and heart break. For Chris, it was a past riddled with addiction and health complications. And for Alicia (formerly Craig/Shay) - an ideal marriage and optimism for the future took a turn one fateful morning at the 2007 Olympic Marathon Trials when her husband at the time, Ryan Shay collapsed and died early in the race.
