Megan is such a great interviewer. I have enjoyed your work for years. Thank you @iRunFarMedia for your part in making trail running such a great sport!

[@morganaverynz]

Hayden's Western States run is up on Strava, the last mile or so where he mentions hunting Rod was run at 3:21 per kilometre pace. What an absolute specimen.

What a humble and talented runner! Great representative for HOKA and I am glad to be on that team as a HOKA Flyer. Great work Hayden!

[@amandadruce6650]

Great interview 👏

[@jdudds907]

Another couple hundred meters of track and he would have taken 2nd! Awesome push at the end! Great interview!

[@HAYDENBURDGE1]

Class act

[@leelawlor4389]

Which class!?

[@BernsrdKnoll]

Now Hayden is another top contender to break 14 hours

[@JoeyHollister]

Best States race ever

[@StevenWalling]

Pros like this make me love this sport

[@chrisottenstroer7202]

What a great guy!

[@kessilrun6754]

I would love to see Hayden and Jim come through together in 2025. Every year, Hayden does it faster and faster. Did I hear that Hayden was a firefighter? I swear someone said that in the live chat this weekend.

[@rpmcmurphy2348]

Great interview! Hawks is a fox hole guy. You need someone to get it done without giving up, he's the runner! Him and Glick fit that category! Walms is still great! My 2 cents.

[@PSYT313]

What a good guy.

[@Arisafari77]

Hayden the Comeback Hawk!

[@danielnogueira6365]

please interview Dan Jones!!

Why would anyone get upset with an athlete trying to beat the snot out of a competitor , friend or not ! Best wins, period .
