Everyone will enjoy this introspective-yet-lively episode recorded in front of an audience in Portland, Oregon: The guest is author and ultrarunner Katie Arnold, whose latest book is Brief Flashings in the Phenomenal World. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Molly Williams, Katie details: 

-why she runs by feel rather than time or distance; 

-“eating the grief” after a horrific rafting accident;

-subtle shifts in mind and body that helped her heal; 

-using music strategically in ultramarathons; and,

-how she understands Zen because she understands running. 

Katie jumps into the episode almost immediately.
