Fail Forward with Adnan & Dan

In this episode of our podcast, we sit down with Rickey Gates, a world-renowned trail and road runner who has conquered some of the most challenging races in the world. His first conquest was the Imogene Pass Run, and since then he has competed in numerous long-distance races across the globe. He also completed his own personal project, the "Every Single Street" project, where he ran every street in San Francisco. He also ran the entire landmass of the USA from West to East in his project "Transamericana". He now lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his wife Liz and 1-year-old Wilhelmina. Join us as we talk to Rickey about his training and racing experiences, visiting some of the most awe-inspiring places around the world, and the long-lasting friendships he has built along the way. Whether you're a runner or just someone who is interested in learning about a life lived in a very different way than the norm, this episode is not to be missed.
