Riley sits down with Chelsea in Boulder just a few days after their commanding win at the Black Canyon 100k. The rare ultra running conversation on Chasing the Burn is well worth the listen. Riley describes how fitting pieces into the wildly complex puzzle of racing 100 milers has been a many year process and in 2025 finally has them believing that a win at Western States is possible. We chat puking, sponsorship, carbon on trails and how leading by example as a non-binary person in the running community feels even more important this year.
