In this episode of the Front Pack Podcast, we catch up with professional ultra-trail runner, Jacob Banta, one of trail running’s most intriguing rising stars just after his first crack at the sport’s biggest stage.
But Jacob’s path to elite ultrarunning didn’t start like most.
Before having sponsors like Amazfit, before the big races, and before the Western States debut, he was racing motocross. Now he’s waist deep in a big way. Doing it with a calm, California cool that makes you wonder how he stays so relaxed while putting in 135 miles of work a week.
We talk Western States, training, fueling, training; what it takes to break into the top level of trail running, the mindset behind his training, and what he’s learned along the way.
If you want a glimpse at where the sport is headed next, or are looking to be inspired, dive in.
