If you’re trail-running curious—or just love inspiring athletes—this is the episode for you! Host Sarah Bowen Shea is joined by guest host Corrine Malcolm, co-host of Trail Society podcast , to talk with Stephanie Irving, 64, an avid trail runner running the legendary Western States 100, where she’ll be the second oldest female participant; she’s also the co-founder of Wild Woman Trail Runs . In this in-person episode recorded just days before the big race, Steph and Corrine detail: -what’s so special about WS100 -the “magic” of a women’s-only running race like Wild Woman -how to stop thinking about age as an impediment -fueling advice for endurance races -the value in going before you're ready—whether in a race or life! Before Steph joins the conversation around 11:55, Corrine sheds light on the history of the Western States race.
