Lance Armstrong intrigued by ultra marathon, obstacle-course races
Lance ArmstrongLance Armstrong said part of him wants to run an ultra marathon or an obstacle-course race next year in an audio interview published last week.
“Part of me wants to go run an ultra, or find a 100-miler to run or go find an obstacle-course race that’s super challenging,” Armstrong said on Movember Radio, adding that the endurance world is “blowing up” in popularity. “Go try that. I think ’16 would be the year to do that.”
Armstrong, 44, received a lifetime ban and had his seven Tour de France titles stripped by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in 2012 for doping during his cycling career.
