Who Is ‘Million Dollar Mile’ Defender “The Captain”? Meet Robert Killian

One of his favorite routes starts at the base of Flagstaff Mountain (an elevation of 5,300 feet) and trails up to the 8,144-foot summit of Green Mountain. He then makes his way back down through trails, single-track dirt paths, and paved roads. 

“That’s about a 12-mile run with 3,000 feet of vertical gain — at high altitude — and it takes about two hours, depending on how I run it,” Robert explained in a chat with Spartan. “For me it’s about training for the distance instead of training for time, because you race the distance, you don’t race time.”

He’s a dedicated father-of-two.
