096: From Motherhood to 100 Miles: Amanda Dunn’s First 100-Mile Ultra

In this episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, host Liz Myers sits down with ultra runner Amanda Dunn to talk about her powerful journey from casual runner to finishing her first 100-mile race after becoming a mother.

Amanda shares how running became an outlet to decompress from her career as a physical therapist, how pregnancy reshaped her training and mindset, and what it took mentally and logistically to line up for a 100-mile ultra. We dive into the realities of race planning, sleep deprivation, crewing with family and friends, and navigating the emotional highs and lows that come with ultra distances.

The conversation culminates in one of the most meaningful moments of Amanda’s race: crossing the finish line with her daughter, a symbol of perseverance, balance, and showing the next generation what’s possible through hard work.

This episode is an honest, inspiring look at motherhood, resilience, and chasing big goals. One mile at a time.
