About this episode

Rachel Entrekin discusses her record-setting performance at the Cocodona 250 and her transition to a professional ultra runner.

Rachel Entrekin recently cemented her legacy in the growth of multiday trail ultramarathons with her outright course record and third win at the Cocodona 250. We talk about how her race played out, her life has changed since going pro earlier this year, and what her performance has taught us about the many variables to success at multiday ultramarathons.
