Greg Reynolds - Bear 100 Interview

Greg had never run 100 miles, or 50 miles, or even 50K (31 miles), but on somewhat of a whim, his wife signed him up for the Bear 100. You know, to give him a push. Greg had just over three weeks to prepare. He finished. His time, 34 hours and 40 minutes. Hear how he prepared, formed an intelligent finishing strategy, and stuck to his plan.
