Tonight's guest is Mark McColgan, he is very much into Saint John trail running. By his own admission, he isn't the best with his diet but don't be fooled one little bit. Determined and tough Mark was getting into some very long ultra runs and hydration and eating have been problems, sometimes cramping so badly it would affect his race. One year he ran the Gaspesia while being trained very well and had to stop because of hydration. The next year he was just as well trained and came in having done the Keto diet and made it through to the end of the 100km race. Once again while cramping up at km 20 or so his cousin suggested he start taking mustard and after this happened he has been known as the "mustard chugger" Now Mark tries ultras that are a little shorter but is able to do them faster. Mark is a wonderful storyteller and has more than a few great ones to tell. So listen up and hear how he has raised over 5000$ for local groups and people that keep trails upgraded. Now he is a large part of the Saint John Trail running groups, he tells us of his amazing friends that help him keep the evening trail runs fun for all different ages and levels. A fantastic interview with a very passionate person that you won't want to miss. Plus don't miss his interview with the New Leaf Running podcast as well, link below.
