Full episode on Patreon! Despite being an outdoor enthusiast, Kate hated running. That all changed, however, when she discovered the magic of trail running at 40 years old. Kate talks about quickly falling in love with flying through the woods, and running 50 mile weeks without much thought. Suffering from imposter syndrome she signed up for a technical 30km to prove she really was a runner. She tells her story of training and prepping and the multitude of unknowns. What's an aid station anyway? You can hear the energy and excitement in her voice, and it's a great reminder why we are all a part of this sport!
She's got great tips for beginners gearing up for their first race!

April went from not being able to run 60 seconds to running the Chicago Marathon. When she was in the darkest place in her life she buckled down and got out the door. She didn’t know anything about running, she just wanted to have peace in her mind and to love life again, and she did! She is now 4 years in the game and loving what running has done for her and her life.
