Minimalism, mountain running and his astonishing winning streak
Ultrarunning champion Geoff Roes needs no introduction. He dominates 100-mile races and he sets course records at almost every event he enters. His most famous record-breaking win in 2010 was profiled in the documentary Unbreakable: The Western States 100, where he finished in an incredible 15:07, crushing the record previously held by Scott Jurek.
When I caught up with Roes, he had just returned to Colorado after a summer of leading ultrarunning camps in Juneau. He says that the camps were successful and allowed him to get to know a wide range of people with different running styles and abilities. Yet, heading up running camps in Juneau was probably not something that Roes could have envisioned when he first arrived in Alaska in 2005.
