Season 5 Episode 18
Mike DeGeorge is a 27-year-old ultra runner from Albany, NY, who only started running in 2020 and is already competing at an elite level. After discovering David Goggins and using running to turn his life around, Mike built up to 180-mile training weeks, shattered the Brookfield Classic 50K course record, ran 100 miles at a 7:30 pace, and logged 141 miles in 24 hours. In this episode Mike talks about training, discipline, a near-death experience, recovery, and what drives him to chase the dream of joining Team USA. Outside of running, Mike works in a homeless program, has dedicated the past 10 years of his life to homeless services, and is a father to one daughter.
