#111: Jay Lee -- How to Crew a Record Setting Run Across America - a podcast by Chris Ward

This week I'm very excited to welcome Jay Lee back to the show!

Jay is an ultra runner and one of the best crew leaders around. Over 54 and a half days in 2017, he crewed Sandra Villines through her world record setting transcontinental run in which she ran from San Francisco to New York City. Through all of her 3,127 miles Jay spent his days driving a little ways up the road, running back to her with her nutrition and supplies, getting back in the car, and doing it over and over again up to 100 times a day. He was extremely organized, detailed, patient, and hard working through the whole endeavor.

On this episode Jay shares his experience. What does it take to be a good crew member? How do you support a self-sponsored event like this? What's it like to crew all the way across America in a tiny Toyota rental car? How do you chase a bear away on the down low so your runner isn't freaked out?

It takes someone truly special like Jay to be the wingman in an event like this and I'm super pumped to share such a wild adventure with you!!

Hope you enjoy the episode!
