Courtney Dauwalter is one of the greatest ultra runners on the planet. In the history of the sport, there are few athletes who have been as successful and versatile as Courtney - competing and winning races of all different distances and formats. Most recently, Courtney won and broke the course record at the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc in what was one of the great ultra performances of all-time, finishing 7th overall. This was her second victory at the world's most important event. We talk all about the UTMB victory in this conversation but also spend time on the Hardrock 100, where Courtney unfortunately succumbed to a DNF earlier in the summer. Hear what Courtney learned there and how that disappointment led to a transcendental victory at UTMB only six weeks later.

Anton Krupicka is one of the most legendary ultrarunners in history. Bursting onto the ultra scene in 2006 with a win at the Leadville 100, Anton quickly became the representative for an entire generation of ultrarunners and directly contributed to the rapid growth we've seen in the sport. After many years of injury that kept him away from competition, Anton made his triumphant return to racing at this year's Leadville 100, where he finished 3rd place.
