Wes Plate has carved out a niche documenting some of the longest footraces. He's taken on nearly every 200+ mile race in North America, he's a 5 time Cocodona 250 finisher, and like me he films the experience from a first-person perspective.We talk about what it takes to capture these massive efforts, how his background as a professional video editor shapes his approach, and the ways in which trying to document these long races affects his experience in doing them.Check out Wes' work on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wplateFOLLOW ME HERE:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jpelletier/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeffpelletierrunsStrava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/2513942Sign up for my newsletter so you never miss an episode: https://jeffpelletier.com/newsletter/
