Lauren shares her incredible journey from battling a broken ankle to achieving the ultimate dream: qualifying for Team USA! We dive deep into her training philosophy, her harrowing experience in the final miles of a race, and the mental fortitude it takes to push through extreme fatigue and confusion.
But it's not all about the suffering. Lauren opens up about the importance of effort-based pacing, the power of real food during long races, and the invaluable role of a strong support system. We also explore the unique challenges and camaraderie found in backyard ultras.
