#ADAM AND GAIA DUPLICATES FULL#
Adam was waiting at the finish line, already with an outfit change, immediately giving a high five and asking for a full race recap. A pro athlete told me a story of getting absolutely trucked by Adam at one of those races. Most importantly, on top of all of his results, he’s known as one of the kindest people in the sport.


Heck, he only has 3,550 followers on Strava, where he consistently drops the hottest workout files the world has ever seen! Prior to Western States, the iRunFar groupthink predictions guessed he would finish 5th. He has just 8,623 followers on Instagram, about the same number of people that will enter the Western States lottery this year (for context, Courtney Dauwalter has 394,000 followers and Kilian Jornet has 1.4 million followers). Even within running-specific mediums, he seems to lag behind. Death, taxes, and Adam Peterman crushing the best trail runners in the world.Īnd yet still, with all of that indisputable dominance, I feel like some people might be missing it. And in November, a 15-minute win at the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships in Thailand. In June, it was a 30+ minute win at the Western States 100. In April, an even bigger course record at the Canyons 100k. In March, he set a 10-minute course record at the Chuckanut 50K. But that was just an appetizer for the entree to come in 2022. It started with a win at the JFK 50 Miler, where he ran a blisteringly fast 5:19 for the second fastest time ever. Since November 2021, Adam Peterman has been unstoppable. Heading out the door?
