#389 - Stefanie Flippin: From Doctor to Ultrarunner of the Year Nominee


Listen Later

Seemingly every time I check on Dr. Stefanie Flippin's progress as a runner she is reaching greater heights. This 2021 was no different for this dynamo.

Earlier this year Stefanie took a big leap by signing with HOKA and becoming a professional trail and ultra runner. This was after she won the USATF 100 Mile Championship in a blistering time. Two weeks ago Stefanie returned to her favorite distance and finished fourth overall and top female at Tunnel Hill 100 Miler.

In this episode we talk about her decision to turn pro and step away from her medical practice, why it was a good fit for her, what it's like to be nominated as one of USATF's trail and ultra runners of the year, and what about 100 mile distance suits her so well.
