Tabor Hemming is a true "trail, track, and road" athlete, most recently representing Team USA on the Short Trail team at the 2025 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships! She is also a true student of the sport, learning her way up through each race and each season, together with her husband, Eli.
*Tabor and I had a great pre-race conversation that did not make it into our preview episodes due to technical difficulties. Thankfully, the post-race conversation was even better!
In this episode, Lauren and Tabor discuss her early exposure to Olympic and elite sport, and her parents intention to instill lifelong activity and adventure as a core of her childhood. Tabor competed on the Junior world trail championship team as a high school athlete, before returning to cross country and track as a collegiate athlete. It wasn't until the Covid-era that she rediscovered competitive trail running, and her talent and love for it. Hear the lessons she's learned, experiences gained, opinions formed, and thoughts on the sport as a whole and her place in it.
