About this listen

Some dreams don’t fade, they follow you through childhood, into adulthood, through every race, injury, setback, and breakthrough. For today’s guest, Western States was that dream. The race she thought about as a kid running cross country, the one she carried through 50Ks, 100Ks, Miwok, Waldo, and The Big Alta.

In this episode, we talk about what it takes to chase a goal for years, the mental shift from marathon speed to ultra endurance, the highs, lows, doubts, breakthroughs, and what it feels like to finally stand on the Western States start line after imagining it your whole life.

This is a story about patience, persistence, and the long road to a legendary race.
