1:04:17

Get to know Fiona Pascall, who is most recently the women's champion of the Chianti Ultra-Trail 120k where she executed a strong and consistent performance against a very talented women's field - ultimately earning both a Golden Ticket entry to Western States in 2025, as well as entry to UTMB in 2025 and 2026. In this episode, Lauren and Fiona discuss her younger years, growing up under the wing of her sister Beth Pascall (2021 Western States Champion), struggling with the pain of a chronic injury, discovering her own path to endurance sport, and her trajectory to elite level racing. We hear all the details of the Chianti race through Fiona's perspective, as well as the decision making process that followed, and what is next for her, professionally and athletically!

Georgia Porter - The Fastest Known Time on the Arizona Trail 1:17:42

1:17:42

Georgia Porter is an accomplished road, trail, and ultra athlete who recently set the female Fastest Known Time on the Arizona Trail - covering the 817 miles and 113,537ft of elevation gain from Utah to Mexico in 16 days, 22 hours, and 6 minutes. The adventure was life-changing. In this episode, we uncover Georgia's origin story as a non-runner in a family of elite runners, to uncovering a talent for the marathon, a passion for trails, and ultimately a drive to uncover the truths that ultra-distance teaches. We take a deep dive into the Arizona Trail FKT itself, and what it taught Georgia about re-orienting their relationship with pain in a physical, mental, and emotional sense; as well as the value of community, team, and the shared experience. We also discuss what they have coming next, and how this long-trail adventure, and it's lessons, opened a door of possibility and potential.

Abby Hall, professional runner with Adidas Terrex, joins us just a few days before lining up at the Chianti Ultra Trail 120k where she'll be making her second run for a Golden Ticket this year! Abby joined the podcast for a short, pre-race interview before the Black Canyon 100k - where she ran for a strong and impressive fifth place finish, coming less than 2 minutes shy of a Golden Ticket position. (You can find that pre-race interview here, for some more context on Abby's intentions and motivations for the 2025 season: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vv3j6iToqP158Qvd2Xi4Q ) In this episode, we take a longer look into her history as an athlete, adventure seeker, and ultimately, professional trail runner. Abby has an inspiring work ethic, as well as a love for the process of what she's doing that stems all the way back to her earliest days in the sport. That energy and excitement carries through as she catches us up to speed on her experience at Black Canyon, and the motivations behind a 6-week turnaround to take another shot in Italy this weekend. You can follow Abby's race alongside yet another deeply competitive women's field here (the race begins Saturday at 4:00am local time, which is 11pm Eastern or 8pm Pacific for our U.S. listeners): https://live.utmb.world/chianti/2025 I hope you enjoy this episode; and encourage you to like, follow, and share if you do!
