Joe “Stringbean” McConaughy is an ultra runner, which means he regularly runs long distances greater than a marathon. This past summer, he went to tackle his biggest challenge yet: running the entire Appalachian Trail. He didn’t just want to run it, though. He wanted to beat every known record set for running the trail – even supported records – alone. In this episode, we’ll hear about Joe’s epic journey to beat the odds, and how a whole lot of planning and perseverance can pay off.
