Cocodona Mini Series Ep. 6: From the AZT to Cocodona 250: Georgia Porter’s Spiritual Approach to Ultra Running

In this episode of Ultra Uncovered, Georgia Porter joins Corinne and Russell to discuss their leap from Olympic Trials marathoner to multi-day ultrarunner — and why the 2025 Cocodona 250 is their next big adventure. After completing and setting the Fastest Known Time on the 800+ mile Arizona Trail with less than four hours of sleep a night, Georgia shares their evolved relationship with pain, their spiritual approach to endurance, and how community and crew are at the heart of their racing.From redefining courage to embracing emotional breakdowns on trail, Georgia opens up about their mindset heading into Cocodona, what they’ve learned from moving through discomfort, and why they believe presence > control. The episode also touches on the role of pacing, their thoughts on the women’s field (including Courtney Dauwalter), and the beauty of running “home” to Flagstaff.Follow Corinne - https://www.instagram.com/corinne_shalvoyage/Follow Russ - https://www.instagram.com/russellditsworth/Follow Cocodona - https://www.instagram.com/cocodona250/
