Starting with his first ultra, the Marathon des Sables at the age of 60, Bob Becker has become a running legend as the oldest runner to finish the Badwater 135. With stories of overcoming challenges like battling extreme heat in Death Valley and dealing with a severe forward lean due to a back issue, Bob’s experiences serve as a treasure trove of inspiration. He discusses his strategies for run/walk, the significance of core strength, the impact of a good crew, and the supportive ultra running community. If that isn't enough, Bob is also the Race Director for the Keys 100 and the Daytona 100. We spend a few minutes highlighting the unique aspects of each event. If you have ever thought that you couldn't run an ultra or that your age was a factor preventing you from accomplishing your goals, then this episode is for you. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to learn from a seasoned ultra runner and gain motivation to pursue their ultra running goals.Connect with Bob: https://www.instagram.com/bobruns150Daytona 100https://www.instagram.com/daytona100ultrarace/website: https://daytona100ultra.com/Keys 100https://www.instagram.com/keys100ultra/website: https://keys100.com/
