360: Amber Constant, White Mountains, Black Flies and 3.65 Million Ft of Vert
About this episode
Amber Constant discusses her journey to break the vertical gain world record while overcoming personal challenges and sharing her experiences as an ultrarunner.
Amber Constant, a White Mountains ultrarunner attempting one of the biggest endurance challenges ever undertaken in New England: breaking the all-time annual vertical gain world record joins Cultra Crew this week. Amber shares how a devastating injury nearly ended her running career, the long road back to the mountains, and why she's spending nearly every day climbing thousands of vertical feet in pursuit of history. Along the way we dive into life as a traveling nurse, adventures that took her across India, the mental and physical toll of relentless climbing, and the incredible community that's formed around her project. We also talk about moose encounters, black fly attacks, GPS nerdiness, White Mountain suffering, and why sometimes the biggest victories have nothing to do with setting records. If you've ever wondered what it takes to climb millions of vertical feet in a single year—or simply need a reminder of what's possible when persistence beats adversity—this is an episode you won't want to miss. Follow Amber's journey and cheer her on as she chases history, one climb at a time. Amber's Go Fund Me Ambers Instagram Link Gwen Stratton The Woman That I couldn't recall Get…
