#205 – Zach Bitter: Ultramarathon Running
Lex Fridman Podcast
Is It Hard to Compare the Trails of the Ultra Marathons?
I would say the best ultra marathoner in the world today on the men's side is Jim Womsey. The trail has drastically changed from when they originally had that event and it's a different time of year so it's much warmer on that course. I think Angela Crest when he looks at the segments and the pacing for that one he's like that one is maybe not even the same event anymore. You have some that are a little more controlled and a little more kind of like preserved I guess you would say but I think it gets really rare on the trail side to be able to compare yourself to someone who ran this course in 1970.
