Episode #35: Testing Limits from Comrades to Vegas with John Armbrust

Running Rogue - A podcast by Chris McClung

TeamRogue athlete John Armbrust joins us at the Running Rogue studio to talk about his experience at the largest and oldest road ultramarathon in the world - the Comrades Marathon in South Africa. He covered 87 kilometers in just over 9 1/2 hours to earn a coveted Bronze medal. John talks about finding his limits at 80K and how he mentally and physically gutted out a grueling final 7K to earn his finish. John is also a part-time poker player, recently competing in the World Series of Poker main event in Las Vegas, where he has finished in the top 100 three times. Giving us a little inside scoop on this No-Limit Texas Hold-em Event, John talks about the mental side of poker and how it relates to the mental side of running.
