In this episode, Ross and Petar sit down with the six-star marathon finisher whose running resume spans continents, cultures, and courageous feats. But Katie’s journey isn’t just about medals and miles - it’s about grit, heart, and the kind of greatness that shows up when it matters most. We dive into Katie’s origin story, her favorite race moments, and the mindset that fuels her relentless pace. She shares what it means to earn a six-star finisher, how travel and food shape her race choices, and why running in Chico feels like coming home. And then there’s her ultra-marathon prowess. Katie recounts her recent 100-mile race that was cut short due to wildfire smoke - and the moment she stepped up to help rescue a fellow runner in distress. It’s a story of endurance, empathy, and the kind of leadership that can’t be taught. From solo miles to community marathons, Katie reflects on the power of running with friends, the rituals that keep her grounded, and what she’s chasing next. Plus, Pete throws in a few rapid-fire questions to keep things spicy. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or your next ultra, this episode will leave you inspired to lace up and run toward your own version of greatness. Tune in, follow Katie’s journey and stay with us for more stories that move you - literally.","meta_description":"From the streets of Chicago to the trails of Chico, Katie Crane has logged over 2,000 miles this year - and every step tells a story.
