About this episode
Rene Unser discusses her journey as a coach and trail runner, emphasizing personal and athletic growth.
Rene Unser is a coach, race director, and accomplished trail runner who's taken on countless ultras, including multiple stage races. We talk about how training evolves as you grow — not just as an athlete, but as a person — and the lessons that come with that process. Her passion for building community led to PACE Trail Running, now home to some of BC's best races, clinics, and coaching. She was an absolute blast to chat with. @reneruns @trailrunningwomenpod https://www.pacetrailruns.com
