In this episode of Tribe of Runners, host Liz Myers sits down with accomplished ultra runner and FKT powerhouse Emily Keddie. What started as a love for hiking evolved into a deep passion for ultra running and bold adventures in the mountains. Emily opens up about her journey into the endurance world, her favorite FKTs, and how the freedom and grit of solo efforts differ from traditional racing.

We dive into the planning, perseverance, and emotional depth behind her Oregon Volcanic Skyline FKT. An epic endeavor marked by wild terrain, intense challenges, and unwavering community support. Emily also shares insights on the mental side of FKTs, how coaching has played a role in her growth, and why building a strong, encouraging running tribe matters more than ever.

Whether you're chasing a finish line or the edge of your comfort zone, this conversation will inspire you to get out there and go big.

Tune in, get inspired, and join the tribe.
