Lake Sonoma Preview: Jared Hazen and Ashley Erba Interview

The Teenagers Jared and Ashley are both 19, both live in Colorado, and both are extremely fast.  Jared’s got a solid resume of ultramarathons behind him, and even though Ashley’s only been at this since last year, she’ll be running as a contender for the podium.   Ethan and I spoke with Jared first, followed by Ashley. In the talk, we discuss: * “Dropping down” to 100 miles per week. * What’s it like being raised by two ultrarunning parents? * Why aren’t you at Spring Break right now? * What kind of race strategies we’ll see on Saturday. * Ethan and I discuss Sarah’s recent piece about mandatory gear in ultras.
