This guy is obviously trolling but he got some biters
Please stop. I'm not trolling. It's an honest question. If anyone knows for certain, speak up.
People have already spoken up. Several people here (including myself) have been close enough to the running industry to know that there are a very small handful of guys that get paid any sort of legitimate wage simply running ultras. These are the well known guys like Karnazes, Jurek, Krupicka, Journet, etc. The rest of the guys may call themselves "professional ultra runners", but they are simply unemployed dudes that run a lot of trails. Which is cool. I spent a year of my life doing just that =P
