My friend Deanna Doane spoke with me on the podcast a couple years ago (almost 3) when she was fairly new to the sport. It was episode 31. Deanna has covered some miles literally and figuratively since then. Haven't we all. Since then Deanna has accomplished a couple FKT's, won some races, made a bunch of friends and become a coach. Catch up on her adventures and see what's next. Enjoy!

I don't have to tell you what the Western States Endurance Run means to the ultrarunning community. It is the super bowl, the Boston Marathon, World Cup, the World Series..... And if you've listened to me gushing about the race and the energy on this podcast over the years, you will know how I feel about it. Two amazing people, Carrie Meng, Assistant Race Director, finisher, and all around awesome human, and John Trent, journalist, 11-time finisher. author, and again, just an awesome, passionate human, have started a podcast. It is called "The Spirit of Western States". They will discuss history, rules, lottery, crewing best practices, all the things. The will serve as great information for runners and crews preparing for their trip to the mecca of ultrarunning, and also for volunteers and rabid fans like me who can't get enough. Enjoy getting to know these two ultrarunners and their new podcast!

I met Shauna during her first 100 miler at Long Haul 100 earlier this year. Most people, regardless of the training, struggle during the last 15-20 miles of their first 100. She may have too, but she sure didn't show it. She was well prepared with awesome coaching, and has the grit required to accomplish big things in the ultra world. Her enthusiasm for our sport is infectious. Enjoy!
