023 - Rosie Nanette Gagnon: The Trail to 100 100s

Season 2 Episode 23

In this episode, we talk with Rosie Gagnon, who has run 76 100-milers in just a short time period. They discuss Rosie's motivation for running 100-milers, which stems from the loss of her son to suicide. Rosie is passionate about raising awareness for veteran suicide and supports organizations like 'Wear Blue: Run to Remember' and '22 Too Many.'
Rosie shares her training approach, which involves running a 100-miler as her long run and focusing on time on her feet rather than speed.
She also emphasizes the importance of having a strong mental fortitude and recommends simulating race conditions during training, such as running in bad weather or on technical terrain. In this part of the conversation, Rosie and Run Bum discuss various aspects of training and race day strategy for a hundred-mile race.
