    Davy Crockett - The Story of Kelly Agnew

    On this episode we talk with Ultra Runner and Ultra Historian Davy Crockett. Davy has completed exactly 100 hundred mile races. You can find Davy's podcast and articles at ultrarunninghistory.com. Davy came on to tell his story of his experience with Kelly Agnew. Kelly was famously disqualified after skipping laps in a 24 hour race by hiding out in porta-poties. Kelly found himself in the news again after being charged with multiple counts of theft. Davy was friends with Kelly, and was one of the first to suspect and witness Kelly's behaviors. He tried to do everything he could to stop this behavior before reaching out to Marathon Investigation. Davy tells the story from beginning to end with the hope that Race Directors will learn from the events and circumstances that allowed Kelly to continue cheating at races for years.     To support the podcast, and for the opportunity to listen to bonus content, become a patron on Patreon.

    Sabrina Little - Elite Ultra Runner and Ethicist

    We talked with Sabrina Little. Sabrina is a 4 time USATF 100 Mile National Champion. She is also an Ethicist.  After Sabrina landed on the Podium in The 2013 24 Hour World Championships, she was subject to out of competition drug testing. She talks about that process and the importance of being held accountable. We take a close look at ethics in running and beyond and how the little instances of deception lead to larger lies and greater deception. Sabrina speaks about how, as a competitor, she believes there should be consequences to those that cheat. She also is uncomfortable with the 'shaming' aspect that results from publicly outing someone. She wrote a 'A Discourse on Cheating' on irunfar.com.
