From Running Times Host Gagz:
“For years, Jim Blandford has made the Appalachian Trail and surrounding mountains of PA & VA his playground, racking up an impressive resume loaded with victories and course records. But it wasn’t his race day ferocity that stood out to me during our conversation. Rather, it was his unceremonious approach to training and the ease with which he moves on mentally after a tough race. Having never met Jim in person before our recording, I found his candor and humility both genuine and refreshing. He’s a class act. I was glad to turn the mics off with a clear understanding of who “Jim the Runner” is and why “Jim the man” is held in such high regard.”
