On this episode, I sit down with ultrarunning legend Ann Trason for a conversation spanning the roots of the sport to where it stands today. Ann shares what it was like growing up before Title IX, competing alongside the boys in school, discovering ultrarunning through her first ultra, and the resilience it took to overcome DNF's in her first two attempts at Western States before becoming one of the greatest athletes the sport has ever seen, including 14 wins at States.
We also dive into her historic career, the evolution of ultrarunning over the decades, and her perspective on the modern era of the sport. Enjoy!
