## Resource

It isn't everyday that you get to have your mom on your podcast. This week, Anna Epifano, Steve's mom, joins us on the show to talk about her first 100 mile race at the age of 63, the Blackbeard's Revenge 100. After DNF'ing her first attempt at Blackbeard's in 2025 which was a race she hadn't even planned to do in the first place, Anna returned in 2026 to finish what she started. We get into the importance of consistency in training, the ups and downs of a DNF and a redemption, strength training and mobility, fueling and race day strategies. Join us, and don't ever forget.
