Episode 139: Revisiting the pursuit of excellence with Western States champ Abby Hall
1h 9m
This week, ahead of Western States this weekend, we're revisiting and re-airing our conversation with last year's champion Abby Hall — about growth, grit, and what it means to chase excellence over a long period of time.
They talk about:
- Abby's evolution through a decade in the sport
- How she found her footing in ultras and her relationship with the 100-mile distance
- And, of course, the long road and many setbacks before last year's win
What does it mean to care deeply, race boldly, and keep showing up? There's a vulnerability to racing at the highest level and a tension women often face between being competitive and being perceived as too much.
