LS: Ultra distance runs are longer than marathons.
BF: Holy crap! What's the farthest you've run?
LS: 100km, 62 miles, done it a few times.
BF: Wow, I'd feel good about drinking a lot of beer after a run like that. What did you drink after that race?
LS: Lagunitas makes a special Pale Ale for the Miwok 100K, so I had a few of those!
BF: Simple question, Why do you run?
LS: I hate that question.
BF: OK, what do you get out of running?
LS: Time to myself, and most importantly a connection with nature and the outside world. I only run on dirt; no roads, so I'm always on a trail.
BF: How do athletics and beer combine to influence your lifestyle?
LS: Huh? Ummm, I guess two hours in to a long run, I'm pretty much thinking about food and beer; turkey sandwiches, double IPA, and advil keep me chugging along. That's pretty much my lifestyle I guess.
BF: What does "winning mentality" mean to you?
LS: What? I've never won anything so I don't know. Double IPAs and free shirts are my trophies, so I'm happy with those.
BF: Any advice for aspiring BeerFit athletes?
LS: Yeah, get out and hit the trail so you don't end up a lardass. Carbo loading is very real, and beer is carbs. Stock up and then burn it off.
BF: That's great advice. What's your favorite sports drink?
LS: That'd have to be Pliny the Elder.
BF: Thanks for joining us, I gotta run, I can feel that stout sloshing around in my gut. Later.
