Running and hallucinations

Running and hallucinations

Ever run so hard and so far that you've seen weird things? It's a fairly common occurrence for those who race long distance so we thought we'd get two such people in for chat about running and hallucinations. Gracing us with their presence once more, James Poole and Susie Chan talk about the funny and down-right dangerous side of what happens when your brain starts playing tricks on you during ultra marathons. WARNING: Rick mentions that he's done an ultra, again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
