What's it like to run 200+ miles while climbing over 80,000 feet in the mountains of Italy? We find out as I sat down with ultra running coach and endurance athlete Jason Koop for an in depth conversation about the brutal and beautiful Tor des Geants in the Aosta Valley of Italy. We also talk doping and Alberto Salazar/Nike Oregon Project, who he'd put on his Mount Rushmore of ultrarunning and much much more.
