## Resource

Lindsay Phenix is an elite ultra-marathoner who has run roughly 145 marathons and ultramarathons and is currently training to win the Badger 100 in Wisconsin this weekend — a race she won last year and would like to win again, although her A goal is a personal best regardless of the outcome, which is exactly the kind of self-aware competitive honesty that explains how you run that many races without breaking. In Part 1, she walks through the training and recovery science behind stacking 100-mile finishes (lower weekly volume than you'd expect, upper body strength as the underrated key), the specific carnage of running the last wave at Badwater 135 where everyone is puking while running eight-minute miles at 115 degrees because there is a cutoff to make, what it looked like on camera in the Amazon Prime documentary when everything went wrong in her first Badwater attempt, and the origin story of how a girl in suburban Houston and her dad ran 10 loops around a lake at nine o'clock at night and lay on the pavement afterwards certain they had just done something nobody had ever done before. Hiking Poll score: 41. Part 2 drops in 10 minutes.
