Welcome to the Run to the Top! I’m honored to be a part of your running practice.
My own running story began with a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2014. After finishing the trail, I wondered how I could recreate the experience of moving my body daily, enjoying the outdoors, and pushing my limits.
After coming across Youtube videos and books about legends of the sport like Scott Jurek, Anton Krupicka, and Ann Traso, I felt deep down the trail running rabbit hole and devoured everything I could to become better, stronger, and faster and finish races ranging in distance from 50 to 100 miles long.
Along the way, I developed a deep appreciation for the community, the culture, and everything else that shaped me into the runner I had become.
I wanted to give back. I wanted to contribute to the sport that had given me so much. Now, as the Host of the Run to the Top Podcast, I blend my unique experiences in the trail and ultra running world with the curiosity of a passionate student to bring you interviews with the top minds in the sport that can change your running for the better!
