Benn Coubrough finished 2nd at the Moab 240, a 240-mile race through Utah’s desert and mountains — running for 68 hours with barely any sleep.

In this episode, we talk about his journey into running and what led to this breakthrough performance in the US.

  • How he trained for extreme distance and long hours on foot
  • Nutrition, pacing, and managing sleep deprivation
  • Crewing and race logistics across 240 miles
  • A full breakdown of his race from start to finish
  • What it’s like to push that deep for nearly three days

Benn’s story captures what makes these huge ultras so fascinating — grit, strategy, and the will to keep moving when everything says stop.
