Episode #34 - 200 Miles Deep: Bethany Madson & Jackson Wolf Take on the Summit 200

What does 200 miles through the Colorado mountains actually do to you? On Episode 34 of On Your Left, Matt Clem sits down with elite ultrarunner Bethany Madson and Jackson Wolf of Rougarou Running and Coaching to break down their experience at the Summit 200. They get into the reality behind the miles: brutal terrain, sleep deprivation, fueling, race strategy, the mental grind, and those unforgettable moments that only come when you push your body and mind that far. Bethany shares how she trained for the challenge, what worked, and what caught her completely off guard once she was on course. Jackson brings the coaching perspective, breaking down strategy, decision-making, and some lessons learned the hard way. Then the conversation comes back home as Jackson previews several upcoming Mississippi races he’s promoting and what he hopes runners of all levels will experience on the local trails. From 200-mile mountain races to Mississippi trail running, this episode is packed with hard-earned lessons, great stories, and plenty of laughs from people who know what it means to keep moving forward when everything in you wants to stop. https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=137599 Song of the week: https://open.spotify.com/album/6K8iDZW8jPaoiqSzFFebJA?si=VhMqzdv8RcCnI75Kg1ogMA&utm_source=sms Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.
