Robyn Lesh is a professional trail runner who has been consistently on the rise through the past three years, most recently running her first 50-mile race at the JFK 50 Mile, where she placed 4th, running 6:21, in the fastest and most competitive women's field in race history.

In this episode, Lauren and Robyn discuss her origin story from a child who thought she wasn't capable of running, to a competitive high school and collegiate sailor, to trail running as a mode of exploration and discovery, and ultimately to elite competition.

Robyn takes the time to unpack her decision to race the JFK 50 and her experiences and lessons learned on the day - including thorough insight into her mental strategies and thought processes - that listeners will find valuable and inspiring!

She has a contagious way of framing her perspectives in a way that allow her to absorb and enjoy each challenge she faces.
