Today's guest is a passionate endurance cyclist, ultra runner, advocate for bikepacking, and the host of The Art of Type 2 Fun podcast. She has raced at an elite level in road cycling and serves on the board of Bikepacking Roots. After a life-altering accident involving a car while training, she transitioned away from road racing and found a new love for running, gravel riding and off-road adventures. In this episode, we dive into her journey through addiction recovery, endurance racing, and the mental resilience that comes with ultra-endurance sports.
This is the second half of our conversation, so if you haven't already heard it, stop and head on over to The Art of Type 2 Fun podcast and listen to the first half.
