Chafing the Dream

🏃‍♀️ Chicago Marathon + Midstate Massive Ultra Trail with special guest Alison Andersen! 🏔️

What a chat! We dive into Alison’s race strategies, mental toughness, nutrition, coaching, and her incredible 2nd-place female finish in her very first 100-miler! 🤯🔥

We also recap Jana’s and Luiza’s Chicago Marathon experience: the course, the heat, the donuts 🍩, the disappointments, the lessons learned, and how to pick yourself up and move forward.

Plus, a little perimenopause talk (of course!), more Morzine stories, and plenty of BS along the way. 😂

Real racing stories, hard-earned lessons, and the conversations that happen when endurance athletes get together.

🎧 Tune in for all the highs, lows, and everything in between!

We joined by Jordan Hausladen for a candid conversation about her Spartan Ultra win at Killington, VT! 🏆

We dive into what it really takes to get through this brutal race—from mindset and strategy to nutrition, preparation, and those tough moments when things get really hard.

If you’re brave enough to be considering taking on a Spartan Ultra yourself, this episode is a MUST LISTEN! 🔥
