Today, we’re talking to runner and coach, Ryan Knapp.

Ryan has over 20 years of coaching experience with a focus on mountain, ultra, and trail running. He’s been featured in Trail Running Magazine, Runners World, CNN and the Daily Burn, and was asked by the Road Runners Club of America to create their Level 2 Ultrarunning Curriculum to help coaches around the world learn how to coach ultrarunners.

Ryan talks to Nick and Chris about moving his entire family to Germany for work, getting comfortable running in another country, training for 100 mile races, the depression that sometimes comes with finishing an ultra run and how runners can tell they’re ready to try an ultra.
