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":"081: 1st Overall At The Looking Glass 100K-Cameron Brown","slug":"081-1st-overall-at-the-looking-glass-100k-cameron-brown","published_at":"2026-01-02T14:40:57+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/facing-vert-6327711/081-1st-overall-at-the-looking-glass-100k-cameron-brown","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/facing-vert-6327711","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/facingvert/episodes/081-1st-Overall-At-The-Looking-Glass-100K-Cameron-Brown-e3cugnh","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/db6f2d50/podcast/play/113246385/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-11-29%2F415166802-44100-2-8073ad9c480dd.m4a","summary":"I was looking forward to speaking to Cameron Brown about his Looking Glass win because I knew absolutely nothing about him...other than the fact the he absolutely crushed the race! He was first overall in a time of 9:31:55! Mind-blowing. What an interesting conversation I had with Cameron! I was fascinated to learn that he has only been running for less than 2 years, and it all started with his wife convincing him to join her for a marathon! It truly is unbelievable to hear how far he has come in such a short amount of time, and he takes every opportunity he can to learn more about how he can improve. Cameron has CERTAINLY discovered a gift, and I look forward to seeing where he goes from here. Thank you, Cameron, for joining me on the podcast and sharing your story! You are amazing!
