We had a casual talk with Frank Bozanich this weekend about what ultras were like during his heyday in the late 1970s.  Limited aid stations, no drop bags, and all he carried was a honey bear full of coke.  How'd he do without all of todays gadgets? How about 8 sub 5:30 50 milers with a PR of 5:05.  We'll have Frank in studio soon to dish on todays ultra scene.

Here's some additional WS coverage here and here. And here, too.
