"How to Use Failure" Laz gave a TED Talk last night on how to never waste it and make it your secret weapon. "I've failed at most everything in my life," he told me while I was putting together his biography. He never shied away. 📷 Harvey Lewis LINK: simonandschuster.com/books/The-Endu…

Be in the corral when the bell rings!! "Rules are not Suggestions." Chapter 23, The Endurance Artist.

HAPPY TIME!! 75 Backyard Runners, 40 countries, No Finish Line! BIG'S is underway. 🙌 Laz predicts all 75 will still be in the race a day from now.

BIG'S 2023 was unforgettable and a window into Laz. As hours turned into days, all that we'd spoken about gelled into the backbone of my book... There is No Finish wasn't a witty taunt. It was a life motto!! LINK: www.amazon.com/Endurance-Ar... 📷 Mike Trimpe

Hours away from the most backward, tortuous, and ultimately human event of the season, Big's Backyard Ultra. Only race I've encountered where competitors NEED others to do well.

BIG'S - Let me tell U a bit about what's coming... as I write this... hungry souls from all over the world are descending on a tiny town in Tennessee!! They're coming for each other. And themselves. They will run till they can move no more. "There Is No Finish" taped to the starting arch.

Ultra Running Magazine Podcast. This one was super fun!! Got to talk about The Endurance Artist and Laz but also a lot of human stuff, witnessed, experienced, and left running through my head from it all. Thx Scotty and @ultrarunningmag.bsky.social youtu.be/ztn2m1fnDAI?...

When The Endurance Artist takes on another meaning... And if you've spent any time around him, you know his eating habits are legendary.

"One Does Not Simply Write a Book About Barkley Marathons Mastermind 'Lazarus Lake'" run.outsideonline.com/people/gary-...

Until recently, no one had tried to write the story of Gary "Lazarus Lake" Cantrell, the mastermind of ultrarunning classics like the Barkley Marathons. And maybe for good reason. https://bit.ly/4nwtOD9

A beautiful soul.

"If you build it, they will come." run247.com/running-news...

"So well-written. Having known Gary for 50 years, it is a great portrayal." - Cathy Henn (Raw Dog's wife) #ifkyk #bm100 #BooksWorthReading

REVIEWS - So many have reached out with kind words about the book. Much appreciated, really. Means a lot. If you can find the time to leave a brief review or rating on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, or wherever you like - that would make a big difference in the life of the book. 🙏

Steeper than it looks!! And this guy won! #bfc #lazbook #EnduranceArtist

This made my day...

Headed to Frozen Head to watch some runners do some stupid stuff. Here are a few photos from this past week. Book here: jaredbeasleyny.com #bfc #lazbook #EnduranceArtist

Laz has passed Montrose. Heading west. "I try not to stop for anything!" #lazcon #EnduranceArtist #lazbook

Less than 100 miles to Utah! #lazcon #EnduranceArtist ##lazbook

Happy Monday ✌️ "If you don't fail, how will you know how far you can go?"

"The pain state." That's what Laz has renamed Colorado. Two more big climbs before Montrose, and he believes he can get past them today. Yesterday's highlight was a bear climbing a tree with the ease of a cat. #lazcon #EnduranceArtist #lazbook

The Geezer and I will be in Nashville on September 10th for a moderated talk and book signing. Don't miss it. See Ultrasignup for sign-up details!!

Laz has made Salida, Colorado. Bigger climbs to come!! Weeks away from turning 71, he's pressing forward on his third walk across America and second Trans-Con. #lazcon #EnduranceArtist #lazbook

"This sun at altitude has the pavement so hot that it is cooking my feet inside my shoes." Laz lost ground again yesterday against his daily mileage goal but made it one mile farther than the day before. #lazcon #EnduranceArtist
