Yes.
I think he trains in Seattle.
Any specifics? Perhaps I'll just call Seattle Running Co, but did not want to bother him. On a daily basis is he training at Cougar Mountain, Discovery Park, Green Lake, or just around the roads (does he live near the store)? I'm just wanting to know because he puts in massive amounts of mileage in the Greater Seattle area and stays quite healthy, so I am wanting to know if he is on trails most days or does he just hit the streets, since I'll be moving there and am wanting to know where to live. Thanks.
Have you bothered checking his blog?
First, he doesn't typically put in "massive" amounts of mileage--check out his enduranceplanet podcast interview. Sounds like maybe 100mpw, and you'll say, "well he puts in a lot of time on his feet on slow terrain", but he only seems to do a couple of runs/week on gnarly trails and the last couple of years he has been doing a lot of road running preparing for Badwater/Spartathlon.
He lives in the Capitol Hill district.
Dude:
Go stop in the store (www.seattlerunningcompany.com)and talk to the guy...very nice, very approachable. The guy certainly logs some serious miles over in the Issaquah Alps (Cougar, Hawk, Tiger Mtns.).
