For the last 6 months, Eric has been coaching journalist, Chris McDougall, of Men's Health magazine. With their eyes set on a 50 mile ultra deep in Mexico's Copper Canyon, Eric will meet up with Men's Health in El Paso and spend 3-4 days traveling to the race site. The group of 8 consists of ultra runners from the East and West coast, including the Western States 100 Mile Champion, Scott Jurek. The motivation for the trip and magazine article is to journey down to the land of the Tarahumara Indians, well known for their ultra distance running. Eric and the group have been invited to race with the Tarahumara on their own turf, tackling the steep canyon trails of Copper Canyon. The race is scheduled for March 5th, so check back for Eric's full report when he returns.
