In this episode, I interview Cameron Balser, a dedicated runner from Kokomo, Indiana, who recently completed a self-supported run around the United States. Spanning 11,170 miles and 294 days, this incredible journey saw Cameron running an average of over 40 miles a day. We get into Cam's why, his preparation for the run, the physical and emotional challenges he faced, and the stories of hope and kindness he encountered along the way. Check out these great clips:
