Adam Peterman: High School Athlete to Team USA Ultra Running Champion - Episode 1 | Humans of HOKA

Like many of us, Adam Peterman was shaped by the adventures in his own backyard. From competing for his high school cross-country team in Missoula, Montana to representing Team USA in Thailand, this Western States champion has learned to stay humble and enjoy the process. Episode 1 of this 3-part series follows Adam's origins as an athlete and how through the most difficult of feats, he is able to endure and push himself to an unknown limit. #HumansOfHOKA.

[@MaxRothFitness]

Thanks for the recommendation

[@justin878268]

Hard to imagine anyone disliking this guy. So easy to root for. Can’t wait for the rest of these

[@markphilpottultra]

Western States this year is going to be EPIC.

[@pedrob8787]

The videos these guys are bringing out are truly amazing! Keep up the great content! 👍👊

[@fabianthinks]

Western States is going to be all time this year. Adam got himself a new fan today! Great work Hoka.

[@BentoBensin]

Love it. What a great guy!

[@cpruns4501]

I loved this dude from the moment I saw his first interview. I don't want to jinx anything but I think he could surpass the likes of Jim, Killian, and Francois before he is done. What's different about Adam is how easy it seems for him. You can feel the others out there grinding at certain parts of races but Adam just seems to flow with ease. I can't explain it properly but I suspect you know what I mean. If I was Hoka I would lock this guy in for as many years as possible:)

[@jtk534]

Surpassing Kilian? Now that would be something

[@matthewmyers7826]

Kilian was all fun and games at this age as well, but Adam certainly is fun to watch. He is much more engaged in the running community than most US elites.

[@pedrob8787]

Dont think anyone soon will surpass Killian. Not that i can see any way

[@dereks7061]

Gotta catch you next time I come back to Missoula - awesome to see you crushing it out here in the world 🙌

[@BaylorSig81]

Great vid and footage!

[@penmark1313]

Fantastic documentary

[@mikefoote404]

PETERMAN!!!!!!!

[@marlinweekley51]

The man WAS a “random baller” - not any more 😆🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@pbromka]

Excellent! I'd love to hear Adam speak about what he feels led to such repeat injury in college vs the consistency and success he's found on his own. As a former constantly broken college runner I could guess, but I sense he's intelligent and in tune with his body as a pro. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Check out Dylan Bowman's interview of Adam on the Freetrail podcast. He speculates on the reasons for this there: ruclips.net/video/PXp-cBI_Ydk/видео.html

[@andrewvilla]

Way to go Adam. Where did you get that map in the video?

[@EvelynJung-nn7ir]

Seems like a super cool dude. Stoked to see him crush it in 2023! Anybody know who makes the vests he and other Hoka athletes are wearing? They look super lightweight.

[@preyforeyes07]

Raidlight is the brand

[@barts5040]

What about UTMB??

[@ug8179]

Was that in Thailand ?

[@Dan-sr6oe]

Any details on the Boulder Hoka event 2/23/23?

[@ricodelavega4511]

he came in 2nd to Seth James Demoor in Pike's Peak marathon, so not undefeated.

[@dmac6119]

It states in his "ultra" career. Pikes peak isnt an ultra.
