In the summer of 2019, Jeff Garmire achieved the fastest known time on Vermont’s iconic Long Trail, clocking all 272 miles in five days, twenty- three hours, and forty-eight minutes. Here’s the interview.

Excellent interview, but I do wish Jeff would have gone into the gear he carried a little more.

The hallucinations sound like fun. And yes, extreme physical exertion is a great way the deal with depression, I’ve been doing it for years. Did I understand Jeff right when he said that he treated water on the AZT with just 1 drop of bleach? Is that for 1 liter?

Agree on the gear, otherwise a good interview.
