What does it take to win the Leadville Trail 100 Run during your first-ever year of competing on trail?

Mary Denholm cracked the code after racing almost exclusively on roads from 2015-2024.

During that time, she took her road marathon personal record from 3:39 to 2:36 and qualified twice for the Olympic Marathon Trials.

Mary decided to shift to ultrarunning in early 2024, and on August 17th, she won Leadville’s legendary 100 mile race.

Listen to this episode to hear about:

  • How and why Mary transitioned from road to trail

  • Strength training and injury recovery leading up to Leadville

  • Mary’s recap of her Leadville victory

  • Tips for taking care of yourself during training and racing
