After DNFing the Québec Mega Trail 110km race in 2019, Kelsey Hogan came back to win the 100-mile race in 2022 and set a new women's course record in 28:18:49. In Part 1 of this two-part series about QMT, Adam interviews Kelsey about her experiences on the trail, including encounters with sleepy porcupines and lots of good snacks. She shares some of the thoughts and feelings she has while running on the trail for an entire night, day, and into another night. This episode gives you a glimpse into some of the mental strategies Kelsey uses to keep moving forward, something we hope can be useful whether you're preparing to run an ultramarathon or dealing with any big challenge in your own life.

Trail Emotion is hosted and produced by Adam Fearnall and Kelsey Hogan, partners in running and in life...and now in podcasting!
