Ultra marathoners are crazy, at least that’s my stance. I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. I love them to death but they are fricking crazy!
And then there’s Laura Parson.
While she is an ultra marathoner, and by definition crazy, she’s also organizing and training for a cross country adventure this summer that I can’t begin to even fathom.
On today’s run, I’m joining Ian Sharman for a few easy miles. Now, if you don’t know who Ian is, you’re obviously not a member of the ultra marathon community.
Ian Sharman
Since he started running, which was only about 10 years ago, he has completed 200 marathon or longer races! He has also set a new record for the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning, become the director of the US Sky Running Series, and coaches some of the top ultra marathoners in the world. To say this guy is a pillar in the ultra running community is obviously an understatement. Read more
On today’s run, I get to run with a world record holder, a 50 State Club member, and a Century Club member, which is quite a trifecta for a runner.

Laura Skladzinski set the world recored in 2010 as the youngest woman to finish a marathon in each of the 50 states, becoming a 50 stater in the process, and has continued running since then recently earning entry into the marathon runner Century Club.
When I first discovered Laura and learned of her accomplishments, I assumed that she had probably been a life long runner, but I was quite surprised the find out that wasn’t the case.
Here are a few highlights of the conversation we had on our run:
Make sure you follow along with Laura as she continues running marathons across the country and around the world.

In the first episode of Diz Runs With, I’m chatting and running with Mark Remy, editor at large with Runner’s World and the writer of the Remy’s World blog on runnersworld.com.

A few highlights from our run–
We also talked about how awesome Meb and Shalane ran at Boston this year. For Meb to win Boston this year, because of the events of 2013, was so amazing. And the fact that Shalane pushed the pace and PR’d by 3 minutes shows not only how tough she is, but also how she ran a perfect race.
Mark even mentioned a picture that he has on his Facebook page that would suggest that Ms. Flanagan is a fan of the Remy’s World Blog.
