Lauren Jones is not stranger to challenging races in ultrarunning. She has completed the Cocodona 250 along with tons of other challenging races, and often places or gets a podium spot. But she has also had some DNFs along the way, that helped shape her into the ultrarunner she is. Listen to her incredible mindset of diving into things that scare her, and how that helps her get back up to run again even when faced with incredible challenges.
