E165 Amy: Eat to win

E165 Amy: Eat to win

Amy Hamilton has always been an athlete. She's run both Boston and New York with times as fast as 2:57. After a health ordeal she was sidelined for the first time in her life. She returned to running and decided to take to the trails. She soon started to go after 100 mile races but couldn't figure out why she couldn't finish them. After multiple attempts, she finally started eating more and came out with a 1st place finish at Yeti 100.

E162 Alicia: Say “yes” where others might say “no way”

E162 Alicia: Say “yes” where others might say “no way”

Alicia is not running for gold, but she could if she wanted to.

Alicia finds comfort and relative discomfort blazing through the forest of the west coast and beyond. She runs with reckless abandon for costumes (brought on by an early figure skating career), reindeer games, grueling uphills, yam fries, planning her start-up, micro-breweries, testing her limits and to simply be able to say “yes” where others might say “no way”. She's currently expecting her first kiddo real soon!

E159 Katie S: The adventure expert

Katie loves to run, ride, and row super long distances. She recently finished her latest run adventure - running 11 ultras in 11 days to raise funds for 11 clean water projects. She is also the youngest person in the world to row solo across the Atlantic, spending 70 days alone at sea. Before all of these adventures, she was told that "You don't look like I could do that" because she's not your typical rail-thin runner or athlete.
