This week on the podcast is Adrian Macdonald!
Adrian Macdonald is a two-time Leadville 100 Winner. He finished second at this year's Leadville 100 with a time of 15:56:34, behind David Roche, who set a new course record of 15:26:34.
Adrian inititally had ambitions of becoming a professional football player, but instead turned to running in high school. While only running a 4:40 mile in high school, Adrian continued to pursue running in his adult life. He trained for many road races, including the Boston Marathon. However, during COVID, he began to train for ultramarathons. In this first attempt at the Leadville 100 as an unsponsored athlete, he won.
Adrian later signed with On and is now a professional athlete.
Adrian and I talk all about mental toughness and the mental skills required to be successful in an ultramarathon, his experience in the Leadville 100, why he thinks running is such a special sport, some of the biggest lessons that he has learned, and much more!
I hope you all enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!
