Runner Stories: Rex & Sydney
Episode 17
Friday, 19 December, 2025
This week we welcome Rex Hunt and Sydney Sorkin for a candid tour of the ultrarunning life. Rex shares how trails became his classroom, why he chased six 100-mile finishes in a single year, and what those long nights taught him about patience, pacing, and grit. Sydney adds her own perspective as a runner and group-run leader, answering our ten signature questions with stories that feel equal parts practical and inspiring. Together they unpack crewing vs. being crewed, what actually keeps you moving at mile 80, and how community makes impossible goals feel possible. It’s a lively, in-studio conversation that demystifies ultras without glamorizing the sufferfest. If you’ve ever wondered what’s on the other side of 26.2—or just need a nudge to try something bigger—this one’s your green light.
