About this episode
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.
