JB Benna - Unsupported 175 mile Tahoe Rim Trail Record Holder
About this episode
JB Benna, producer of the film Unbreakable, is also a heck of a runner. He proved this in October 2013 by breaking the 175 mile unsupported Tahoe Rim Trail FKT at 58h 43m 12s! JB attempted the run in honor of Michael Popov, the previous record holder, who passed away tragically in 2012. JB explains Why and his training, race, fuel, and hydration strategies, lessons learned and how he became friends with his individual body parts.
