Kelly Ramsey Runs Toward Fire

About this episode

Kelly Ramsey discusses her experiences as a wildland firefighter and how her physical training and personal life have influenced her approach to exercise and writing.

Former wildland firefighter and author of Wildfire Days Kelly Ramsey talks to Sebastian about the rigorous physical training she undertook to fight some of the most intense fires in the world. She shares how she increased her running pace — and what form of exercise helps her most when she’s stuck on a writing project. She also tells Sebastian how becoming a mother has changed her relationship to exercise, and how backpacking helped her through one of the lowest moments in her life. Plus, she shares the gym playlist that gets her pumped up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
