## Resource

"There was a lot of throwing up going up that river and no one would give anyone a ride. I've learned that the hard way." Ann Trason is widely regarded as one of the greatest ultrarunners of all time. A 14-time champion of the Western States 100, she dominated the sport throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, redefining what was possible for women in endurance running. She's also a two-time winner of South Africa's legendary Comrades Marathon and a former world record holder at 50 miles and 100 kilometers. Known for her fierce competitiveness, quiet humility, and relentless work ethic, Ann didn't just win races—she changed the standard for excellence in ultrarunning. Today, her legacy continues to inspire generations of trail and ultra-athletes around the world. In this special episode, Luis sits down with Ann in person and chats about all things running.
