Emma Lawson went from completing the Pacific Crest Trail to discovering a love for ultrarunning—and just days before this conversation, she finished her first 50K.
In this episode, Emma shares how through hiking shaped her endurance mindset, how she rebuilt her training after injury, and what she learned from taking on her first ultra at Mammoth Trailfest.
You’ll learn:
• How through hiking can build endurance and problem-solving skills
• Why strength training became a game-changer for Emma’s 50K preparation
• How to practice fueling before race day
• What to do when a low point hits during an ultra
• How community can shape your mindset and confidence
• Why choosing races for the experience can make training more meaningful
