Tanya Hall is officially a repeat guest on the Mere Mortals Conversations. Tanya is an ultramarathoner, combined with being a foodie and lives rurally on a farm in the Brisbane outskirts. In this convo we discussed: how barefoot running sounds great but is hard to implement in reality, the difference between running on trails vs roads, the method of burning fat doing zone 2 training, some mental benefits she has seen from moving out to a farm and the fun that can be had from climbing tree and digging holes.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
