If I’ve done a more enjoyable or casual interview for iRunFar I can’t remember it. In this interview, I chat with Andy Jones-Wilkins about his picks for the men’s and women’s field. Much laughing ensues. If there’s a man more obsessed with Western States (aka, Statesmas) than AJW, I haven’t met him. As AJW said about himself earlier in the evening, “I am not a normal person.”
