Women In The Woods Podcast

We. Are. BACK! Season 2 of the podcast kicks off with "Keeping your Head in the Game - Mental Fortitude for Long Distance Goals."

.

When you're thru-hiking and you hit a stretch of loneliness, or it's your first day into a multi-day backpacking trip and you're questioning your idea of "fun", or you're lady-balls deep into an ultra run and everything hurts - how do you find the mental strength to keep going?

.

Join Lisa Marie (@ThisOneWilderHeart) and Jen (@Marmot_Queen) for a full exploration of the art of keepin' on. From fun facts about finisher rates on long trails (spoiler alert: they're likely not what you think!) to our own tips for getting through the rough, ugly-crying patches, this episode is chock-full of reasons to keep going... or at least some listening entertainment.

OH MY GOD - WE'RE BACK!!! That's right, Lisa Marie and Jen are back for season 2 of the podcast! Reunited and it feels soooo good.

So let's kick it off with an uplifting topic: failure. Or as we prefer to call it - "delayed success". This week, we're talking about inspiring outdoors women who failed and/or faced adversity before persevering to kick some serious ass. From Camille Herron, who recently set the WORLD RECORD for the 100 mile run after failing to complete two other 100 milers in the same year, to Mirna Valerio (aka The Mirnavator), a woman of color and size whose doubters couldn't stop this badass from crushing ultra-marathons whilst being a ray of goddamn sunshine. These ladies are living proof that failure and hardship are NEVER the end - they're just the beginning.

Join us for all the giggles, trail inspo, motivation, and mountain innuendos on this week's episode: "Never. Give. Up. Inspiring women who overcame adversity and failure."

Water is life, and no water is... well, death. The #1 essential in any outdoors adventure, join Lisa Marie and Jen as we discuss advance planning, finding sources, water treatment, and how to survive when you're up shit creek without any water. Our stories, tips, tricks, and plenty o' giggles await you in this week's episode: Backcountry Essentials - Water. Oh, and there's some legitimate life-saving knowledge thrown in from our resident RN/Ultra-runner.
