⛰️ This week, we’re going long — really long. We’re joined by professional ultramarathoner Meg Morgan, who runs for La Sportiva and has taken on some of the gnarliest races out there — including the iconic Western States 100. In this episode, Meg walks us through her journey from hobby runner to pro, why she chose to go beyond the marathon, and what actually happens inside your head (and feet) during a 100-mile race.
We talk about the training that sets ultrarunners apart, the mindset that keeps them going, and the trail-tested gear Meg swears by. If you’ve ever wondered how many shoes an ultra runner goes through in a year — or what to wear on hardpack dirt and sand — you’ll want to stick around for this one. You can read more about Meg on the La Sportiva team page.
