In this episode of the Forever Runner podcast, host Herb interviews Stacy Revel, a local trail runner who just completed the daunting Arizona Monster 300 Mile Trail Race.
Stacy shares her inspiring journey from starting running in 2016 to becoming a seasoned ultra-runner with participation in races like Bigfoot 200 Miler and Concordia 250 Miler.
She recounts her experience during the 300-mile race, including the challenges she faced such as navigating unmarked trails, dealing with extreme heat, and overcoming physical pain. Stacy also discusses the importance of the running community, the mental strategies required for ultra-racing, and her plans for future adventure runs.
