Mark Carles is a runner, brother, son, and one of the bravest athletes we have had on the show. Given a few months to live over a year ago and he is still fighting the rare form of liver cancer he was diagnosed with by running and being with family. Matching tattoos with his mom, late nights and early mornings with his brother and even some kind words from Dan Rather will have you rethinking what you should get out of every day. Enjoy the show.

We didn't waste any time getting to know Emily on her first call of the newest season.  Ian Sharman will be coaching Emily to her first ultra in 2020 at Smith Rock Ascent.  This is the first day of the journey and we were there to capture it.  It went deep pretty quick but we loved the authenticity and can't wait for more.
