"By mile 80 you are questioning life choices" 🎯
At 62, enduring champion ultra-runner, Megan Canfield, is not slowing down. In the past 3 decades, Meghan has qualified and run in the US Olympic marathon trials 4 times, has completed the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run 13 times, with 10 of those being in the top 10, and all but one under 24 hours. She has also represented the USA in the World 100k Championships for 9 consecutive teams. 🇺🇸🥇 And the most remarkable thing is that she found her best performances in her 50s!
We dive into her running, her peak performances, her training, diet and other juicy stuff. I also got so excited finding new parallels between ultra-running and rock climbing! Tune in for:
- Secrets behind 3 decades of podium performance as well as continuing to excel in her 60s
- Her specific diet and why it may not work for you
- Advice on overcoming post-menopause decline
- Relatable joy in the shared community of outdoor athletes world over
- Sex sells, or the business world's fixation on younger stars
