In every interview I hear with Scott Jurek – he’s introduced as “probably the best Ultramarathoner of our time.” With all due respect (which is tons), we just might be entering a new time.

Just before dawn on Saturday Kyle Skaggs did what few runners thought possible. He finished the grueling Hardrock 100 Endurance Run in under 24 hours, setting a new record with a time of 23 hours, 23 minutes, 30 seconds. See results and video of finish here. “This is the performance of the year in ultra-running. Someone’s going to have to walk on water to top this” said his friend and fellow runner Nate McDowell.
