Listen Later

On this episode of the Run the Riot Podcast, we sit down with Leah Vincent, an adventurous ultrarunner, backpacker, and all-around endurance junkie. From hiking the John Muir Trail to tackling Moab 240, Leah shares her wild journey of overcoming extreme conditions, hallucinations, and the unexpected challenges that come with pushing human limits.

We chat about:

  • Her terrifying first backpacking trip, which involved drug addicts and a blizzard
  • The mental battles of ultrarunning and how she overcame a tough DNF
  • Moab 240 stories, including the highs, the lows, and hallucinations of dragons and video games
  • The power of community and why ultrarunning is not just a solo sport
  • Her upcoming races, including Badwater Salton Sea and crewing the inaugural Monster 300
  • Whether you're an ultrarunner or just love stories of endurance and grit, this episode will inspire you to push beyond what you thought was possible.
