The amount of dedication Mike puts into ultra racing is truly remarkable. When Mike is training for a running event he averages 100-130 miles per week. When he is training for cycling he averages an incredible 700-900 miles per week.

You'll usually find Mike out training at the crack of dawn, where he spends most of his day on the bike. His time on the bike is equivalent to a full-time job (interesting considering that the average American spends 33 hours per week just watching TV!); and he is burning somewhere in the neighborhood of 6,000+ calories a day.
