325: Blind Donkey Runner John Robert Mckay

When most of us think of "running blind", we envision a state of panic where one must proceed without having a clear understanding of what lies ahead. Trail running can be challenging enough even when we can see the rocks and roots that can trip us up. John Robert Mckay, AKA The Blind Donkey Runner does not let that stop him. We hear the details of how he is able to avoid "rock in 3-2-1, ROCK" with the aid of guides. We hear about his journey to qualify and run The Boston Marathon, his racing on the track, trails and ultra events.

John also shines the spotlight on local Georgia High School Track coaches and their athletes through his own podcast Southeastern High School Athletics and he is a subject matter expert!

We spend a lot of time talking about making connections with others, and the courage required to stand on the starting line of a cross country race.

We also enjoy Jackassing around with The Blind Donkey Runner. Don't miss this!
