In this episode of the Tribe of Runners podcast, host Liz Myers (thats me) sits down with runner and writer Devin Kelly to explore his journey through the world of endurance running. From early influences that sparked his love for running to toeing the line at grueling ultra marathons like the legendary Badwater 135, Devin shares stories of challenge, resilience, and the essential role of community.

We dive into the importance of crew dynamics during long races, the emotional support that helps athletes push through difficult moments, and the critical role of fueling and hydration in ultra running. Beyond the trails, Devin discusses his passion for writing, including his experience with ultra runner David Roche, where he explored the complex layers of athletes and their stories. Looking ahead, he shares his aspirations to keep blending his love for running and writing while continuing to highlight the companionship and support that define the sport.

Thank you Devin for being on the Podcast!
