In this edition of the Train Well Race Well podcast I sit down with Justin Ricks of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Justin has run 2:22 for a road marathon but his main focus has been in the trail running scene. A few of the things we touch on include…
- His beginnings as a runner and the influence of his family
- His dramatic weight loss
- His interest in getting back into Ultras
- His traveling adventures with his wife & kids
Justin is sponsored by La Sportiva as a member of their Mountain Running team. He’s also a member of Team Colorado, arguably the strongest group of mountain/trail runners in the country. Besides being a competitive runner, Justin also works with GrassRoots Events where he helps direct several races and offers his coaching services.
