#249: Amanda Rasmussen -- Journey From Non-Runner to a Tough 150 Miler


Listen Later

This week we chat with ultrarunner, mom and all around awesome person Amanda Rasmussen!!
Amanda just raced at the potawomi 200 where she faced torrential downpours, crazy muddy trails and the longest distance she has ever stepped up to! She completed 150 miles of the event, which is inspirational to me as she just began her running journey a few years ago.
In this episode we talk all about her recent race along with her reasons for running ultras and why she keeps striving for bigger and bigger challenges. We also preview a bit of her upcoming summer where she will take on three 100 milers- Kettle Moraine 100,Leadville 100, and the Cloudsplitter 100.
It was an honor to have Amanda on the show and to share her story with all of you!!
