What is it like to persevere when your body is broken and your mind is telling you that you won’t be able to make it? What makes someone push through anyways? Where does the grit and resilience come from?

Tim Barr was at mile 40 of the Leadville 100 when he had his biggest ultrarunning “gut check moment”. His legs were destroyed from the 100 mile mountain bike just a week before. He had spent all summer taking on the Leadman- essentially all the big races in Leadville, CO all within one summer.

I was there. I watched him stand up and soldier on…despite the pure agony.

And he pushed 60 more miles to the finish.

This week we are chatting with Tim about this incredible adventure! I am very inspired by him and excited to share this one!!
