"What I would also recommend if anybody wants to win Western States as a woman, they should be 33 years old. Cause if you look at the top 10 times, I think 5 of them are women who are 33."

Ellie Greenwood is a distance runner, 2x winner of Western States 100, a writer, and a running coach. In this episode, Ellie chats with Luis about where she grew up, what she did before her running career, what she studied at university, how she got into running, how Western States came onto her radar, her recollection of running Western States, encountering a bear on the trail, advice to potential runners, where she is at now in her running career, and coaching runners.
