Bri is a Storyteller | Trail Runner | Mountain Lover | Founder @_wildwomenrunning 

Questions we ask Bri include: 

  • We know that you haven’t always been a runner and even avoided running at all costs as you were a gymnast growing up. How did running help you to find your “why” and teach you to trust your body again? 
  • Here at SRC, we talk a lot about embracing our strength, body image, and mental well-being. Is this something you have ever been challenged with, and if so, how have you found ways to help? 
  • Tell us a little bit about your path into trail and/or ultra running. 
  • You’ve started a pretty awesome community, Wild Women Running! Can you speak more on this, your group runs, and the role that community plays in running? 
  • How have you adapted and/or stayed connected during COVID? How are you and the other women you train with staying motivated without many races on the calendar? 
  • What does your life look like outside of running? 
  • Any favorite trails in Arizona and/or races that you’ve done? 
  • Looking back, what advice would you give to your younger self? 
  • What does being “Strong” mean / look like to you?

    • Running Home by Katie Arnold 
    • Untamed by Glennon Doyle
