Scotty Mills Episode Notes

Scotty Mills has been running Ultramarathon and trail events since 1981 and has racked up a few hundred finishes and made what seems like just as many friends. He’s run UTMB, JFK, Lake Sonoma, Massanutten, Hat Run 50k and Wasatch. He’s run Western States 18 times, Hardrock 100 eight times, and he just this past weekend ran a 50k in Tijuana, Mexico.

In terms of ultra knowledge, wisdom, and humbleness, Scotty holds a special place in this silly sport of ours. After 400 episodes, it was high time we had him on the show.

In this episode, we talk about:



* His DNF at Western and how he’s managing the “lean.”

* His finish at 2017 Western and why it bothers him.

* Lessons he’s learned during races and from friends.

* Advice he’s got for people getting into the sport that applies to all runners. 

* His feelings on “haven’t you run Hardrock/WS100 enough and shouldn’t you let someone else have a go?” question.

* The role of the race director.

* Ways to stay engaged both physically and mentally over decades of running.
