What if your biggest setback became your greatest transformation? In this episode of Beyond The Finish Line, host Joe Hardin sits down with Mandy Mullen. Mandy is an ultrarunner, race director, coach, and everyday athlete. They talk about betting on yourself when the world throws you off course.
After missing her Boston Marathon qualifying time and facing pandemic race cancellations, Mandy didn’t give up. Instead, she leaned into trail running, ran 50 miles in Moab, and redefined what success looks like. Today, she leads Run Windsor, directs 12 annual races, and runs a nonprofit supporting underserved runners and youth.
Mandy’s story is about shifting from performance pressure to purpose. From ultramarathons to mothering, she shares how she balances it all with a “season for everything” mindset.
If you're an endurance athlete feeling burnt out, comparing yourself to others, or just needing a reminder that your journey is valid then this is the episode is for you.
