200 mile races are getting all of the rage in the US. But before Cocadona and the Triple Crown of 200s in the US, there is a mammoth of a 200 mile race that exists in the European mountains: the Tour de Geants.
The Tour is an epic race consisting of X MILES and X feet of elevation gain. And is known as one of the most brutal, challenging, and dangerous races in the world. And in this episode, we chat with an amazing athlete who completed the challenge: Peter Ward!
Peter Ward is an ultra endurance athlete who has completed the Tour de Geants, Cocodona 250, and tons of other ultra endurance challenges. And in this episode, he breaks down the Tour de Geants, what it takes to complete it, how he prepared for it, and some crazy stories from the race.
He also covers his biggest advice when it comes to training and racing in 200 milers, and for anyone who is looking to take on the Tour.
Huge thank you to Peter for making this episode happen!
