029. Grayson Murphy| Unlock your trail speed..and have fun!

Grayson Murphy is a professional road, trail and mountain runner sponsored by Saucony.  She's the 2019 World Mountain Running Champion, a multiple time national champion and a crazy fast road runner and steeplechaser. Grayson is from Utah but she currently lives in Flagstaff, where she's recently joined Verde Track Club to train under the guidance of coach John Green and with the company of athletes like Molly Seidel and Emily Infeld. In this episode we talk about how she balances trail, road and track running, what are the benefits that she finds on one surface or another, and how developing specific strengths on each terrain have helped her be a better runner. These are also the main ideas that she put into her brand new training plan, developed in collaboration with Vert.run: UNLOCK YOUR TRAIL SPEED, which you can sign up right here! We also talk about the current state of the sport, the perception that the general public has regarding the ultra and sub-ultra distances, her relationship with social media, the importance of taking care of mental health, and Grayson's entrepreneurial success with her lovely training logs and planners.
