515 : The Ultra Podcast

The best part of attending a 515km / Ultraman distance event is the life-long friendships you leave with. These events attract remarkable athletes from all walks of life and all corners of the globe. 515 : The Ultra Podcast invites you into the lives of these people who make up the Ultra family through conversations hosted by Larry Ryan, race director of Ultra TriFest Canada and the new Ultra 515 World Wide Championships held in Whistler, BC.

Join us if you are an Ironman with an aspiration toward the 515km distance; if you are a seasoned veteran of Ultratriathlon; or you just want to fill your training hours listening to inspiring stories, about epic events, told by interesting people. There will be plenty of take-aways for your own training and/or your bucket list. For show notes and past guests, please visit the Podcast Website: https://515theultrapodcast.buzzsprout.com
