## Resource

If you've been following the recent surge in ultra running records , Anne Flower’s name has suddenly been everywhere from the Leadville 100 course record to a 50-mile world record and a dominant win at Javelina Jundred. But her rise isn’t sudden. Anne has been grinding for years while building a demanding career as a physician in Colorado Springs. She reflects on her training philosophy, how she approaches ultrarunning through the lens of medicine, and what she’s thinking heading into Black Canyon 100K against one of the fastest fields in the sport. For trail and ultrarunners interested in elite training, racing strategy, and the mindset behind record-level performances. Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.
