Karl Meltzer - Red Bull Human Express

Pony Express Trail

The last couple of days I have been tracking Karl Meltzer as he runs the Pony Express Trail...it's approximately 2,000 miles.  Back in 2009, I contacted Karl Meltzer to help me with training - that experience lead to a 5th. place finish at the Mohican 50 miler and a finish at the 2010 Rocky Raccoon 100.  Anyways, he is a pretty cool guy to talk with and knows his stuff with regards to trail running - he has won twenty-eight 100 mile runs!

Karl is being crewed by Matt Hart.  Matt just finshed 3rd. overall at the Wasatch 100.  You can follow Matt on his blog.
