In this episode of Flagstaff Bound, host Kevin Goldberg and co-host Peter Noyes welcome Wes Plate, a seasoned ultra runner and YouTuber, to discuss his experiences with the Cocodona250 race. Wes shares insights on his journey through multiple 200-mile races, the community aspect of ultra running, and the importance of documenting these experiences for future runners. The conversation delves into the growth of the ultra running community, the significance of gear and strategies, and the legacy that Wes hopes to leave in the sport. As he prepares for his fifth Cocodona250, Wes emphasizes the value of perseverance and the deeper motivations behind endurance racing.
