Will Peterson set the unsupported Fastest Known Time for the Vermont Long Trail in 2023. It's an incredible feat of athleticism, grit, and determination... but was it even worth it? Is an effort like this even fun, or is it just nothing but pain? What happens when someone else comes along and breaks your record? We talk about all this, and much, much more.
