So, what is vert? For all of those in the trail running community, it is short for Vertical Elevation Gain. Basically, it is climbing a mountain, and we have all faced mountains in our lives. This 'vert' may be an upcoming race, or simply getting up the courage to start training for a 5k. Or, this mountain is an obstacle, a burden, a fear that you just want to claw your way up and conquer. These are conversations you will hear about, and I hope they will inspire you to do the impossible and face the impossible with greater hope.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T00:18:07.985210+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/facing-vert-6327711"},"episode":{"title":"077: Looking Glass 100K Preview-Brandon Thrower","slug":"077-looking-glass-100k-preview-brandon-thrower","published_at":"2025-10-16T23:00:58+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/facing-vert-6327711/077-looking-glass-100k-preview-brandon-thrower","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/facing-vert-6327711","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/facingvert/episodes/077-Looking-Glass-100K-Preview-Brandon-Thrower-e39j8o5","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/db6f2d50/podcast/play/109732037/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-9-15%2F409340245-44100-2-b77f366f268b1.m4a","summary":"Here it is!
