January 16, 2025 Gibson: Pushing Your Limits is Fun
Gibson was so fun to chat to! After speaking with her I am pretty sure a large part of her success is having such a positive mindset. The mom of twins has won multiple 100 milers and is a 2-time Cowboy 200 Female Champion (and Course Record Holder). She's also a coach and a leader in the community.

I had a few listener questions to catch up on, including how to pump and run, how to stay motivated, and if drinking alcohol is worth it. Not sure I answered any of them, but I did ramble about 2025! Cheers to a New Year.

December 19, 2024 Shannon: Running 100 Miles After Donating an Organ
Shannon DeVaney is a biologist and college professor who has been a runner most of her life. In 2022, she became a living organ donor to save the life of a friend who was dying from liver disease. The experience inspired her to come back as a stronger runner than ever and she went on to set new PRs and run her first hundred miler.

December 05, 2024 Nicole: Disabled Endurance Athlete, Cancer Survivor, and Social Impact Leader
Nicole Ver Kuilen is a disabled endurance athlete, cancer survivor, and social impact leader. She founded the nonprofit, Forrest Stump, after facing insurance denials for nearly two decades, completing a 1,500 mile triathlon from Seattle to San Diego on a prosthesis built only for walking to raise awareness. Her innovative advocacy campaigns have since sparked national change, laying the foundation for her current role leading So Every BODY Can Move, a state-based legislative initiative creating access to prosthetics and orthotics for physical activity, currently not covered by health insurance and deemed "not medically necessary." When she's not fighting discriminatory healthcare policies or igniting a disability revolution, you can find her running. She's taken home 2nd place at the Boston Marathon two years in a row for T64 female para professional athletes. Mammoth Trailfest in September was her trail debut and she loved it so much she signed up for her first 50k trail race in November at Run the Rock with Alpine Running! Nicole is proud to call the PNW home.

Caitlin is an impressively fast runner who's just started to dabble in the trails. Without much experience she has already crushed the 50km distance and will be one to watch.

In 2023 she got third place at the Squamish 50k trail race in August, which was the Canadian trail racing championships. Three weeks later, she won the Queen City full marathon in Regina, 17 seconds off her course record and qualified for Boston marathon. In November she won a World Series trail race in Puerto Vallarta Mexico which was another 50k trail race, called PuertoVallarta UTMB. This upcoming year she's excited to run Boston marathon in April and the world championships of trail running in Chamonix, France at UTMB Mont Blanc.
