515 : The Ultra Podcast
S3E10 -- Ultramarathon Man : Ferg Hawke
Few Canadians have the ultra running resume of my Ohana guest, Ferg Hawke. He has raced in Western States, Marathon Des Sables, and Badwater. In triathlon, he represented Canada at the World Triathlon Championships and has competed in Kona for both the Ironman World Championships and the Ultraman World Championships.
Ferg has challenged all of the big names in Ultra and made friendships along the way. He has compelling stories about his adventures and the people who have shared them. As a top performer in the sport he also gives great insights into training and volume.
Now age 65, he has slowed the pace a little but the outdoor adventures continue and he still has another Chuckanut 50 on the horizon.
