This guy looks like a bodybuilder in the legs. Can you really find terrain that will give your legs that kind of development?

Shaved legs help with the defined look.

So do steroids. Apparently he is forthright about his use.
Funny, I ran in a ultra with him and I didn't know it.

He has decades of back country bow hunting and trail running, dude puts in some serious miles..I guess at 52 your legs have some old man muscle tone to them..
Oddly enough when I played football in HS/College I was squatting 450 for a 1 rep max and 385 for sets of 7. My legs never had the definition that I've found since ramping up the road/trail miles the last 8-10 years. From my own experience, muscles like my calves never responded well to strictly heavy weight training for growth.
He's definitely admitted to past use. I think that means it's likely that he's still using now at age 52.
The thing about testosterone is once you start using it, you have to keep using it because it kills your natural production and all your production is now synthetic. Sucks for the idiots who start using it then realize the damage is done. Will cost about 200 bucks a month too. lol

Not true, not entirely. Yes it can shut down your production for good, but more often than not a short cycle or two will not shut you down permanently, heavy use of steroids, mainly 19-nors, definitely will though, and at a trt does I can buy a 10 year supply for $100, stop being stupid, stop being ignorant.

That's because he isn't just an ultrarunner. He's also a bodybuilder.
He lifts a lot now. He actually used to be really skinny.
Source for steroid allegation? He has talked about taking (legal) oral prohormones before. That is all I’ve seen.
back in 2008 when Lance Armstrong ran Boston Marathon there was only one guy with him at the finish getting that TV time and that was Cameron Hanes. Dude was pretty skinny back then and not nearly as cut. He's gotten much stronger and leaner with age.

Apart from whatever supplements etc. he may or may not use, skin thins with age. He's 52, so that may help in looking extra-toned when compared to a twenty-something who has the same body fat. I've definitely seen more than a few 50-something and 60-something men and women out running who were in good but not pro-athlete shape who look ripped and veiny in their arms and legs while still having a little fat in places it typically builds up, like their stomach/hips.
it’s TRT bud. testosterone replacement therapy, not steroids. Doctor prescribed, it’s a natural hormone, not synthetic anabolic steroid.
I don’t know why but it bothers me when people can’t make distinctions between these sorts of things.
yeah and why does he need TRT? from previous anabolic steroid abuse.
1) You see him lift heavy weights in the video. He probably does a LOT of squats, lunges and deadlifts which really work the legs hard.
2) 100 mpw on hilly trails - which means mostly up and down, and downhill running has FAR greater force and use of the quads than running on the flats. Most distance runners, even fast ones in the 14 minute 5k range, are not fast on downhills. They are aerobic monsters, but give them a technical trail and I pass them with my 16 minute 5k. Downhill requires a lot of fast-twitch fibers, high cadence, shock absorption and the ability to really move forward and get down to that sub 4 mile pace, a lot of runners are scared and stop in the 4:20-4:40/mi range (I don't think the runner in the video is going nearly that fast downhill, but 20-30 years of running downhill even at moderate paces is going to add up).

TRT is synthetic testosterone, which is THE primary anabolic steroid.
TRT is synthetic anabolic steroid, fool.
He's ADMITTED he taken steroids for YEARS. Look it up, easy to find.
