In this episode of Accents in Sports, Ashley Shoemaker speaks with Holly Zimmermann- ultra-endurance runner, adventurer, author, and coach who has raced across deserts, mountains, and embraced discomfort in the most extreme environments on Earth.
They explore the role of mindset, cultural experiences while racing internationally, and how even the best-trained runners can struggle without self-belief. Holly shares personal stories, coaching insights, and what must go in the race pack (hint: not peanut butter!).
Plus, they play "Finish the Phrase" and "Pack or Pass," two fun games packed with sports English expressions.
