Matt Carpenter (runner).
He's meticulous about what he eats, doesn't drink alcohol and, when he's not hurt, rarely misses a day of running. In Brief:
Matt now owns a custard shop in downtown Manitou Springs, a mere half mile from the start of the Pikes Peak marathon. Your email address will not be published. There was a time when I would win a race and it was, ‘Wow, that’s really great, my training paid off, now I can’t wait for the next one.’ Toward the end, I would win and it was like, ‘Thank God I won, I didn’t lose.’ It wasn’t a sense of reward. Adding to his legacy and connection to the mountain, Carpenter has been an active member of the Incline Club running group that trains for the Pikes Peak races every year, is the de facto record keeper and statistician for the Pikes races, and started the 12.5-mile Barr Trail Mountain Race up and down the lower flanks of Pikes Peak in 2000. 7/15/95: Cervinia Vertical Kilometer, gains 3,280.84' in 2.17 miles from 6,594' to 9,875' 1st place in 42:14

Interview by Ryan Warner of Colorado Public Radio. Yes, Matt likely has great genetics, but his aerobic prowess didn’t show up right out of the gate.
After signing with Fila Skyrunners in 1993, he won either thirteen[5] or fifteen[3] of the seventeen high altitude marathons he entered, setting records at both 14,350 feet (4,370 m) (with a time of 2:52:57) and 17,060 feet (5,200 m) (a time of 3:22:25). This all speaks to a bigger connection they had to a race or sport and they were the better for it.
