Baker: His first 1km

Dena had to overcome some of the toughest things a child could go through. Instead of letting it get her down, she found running and became one of the most positive and inspirational people I've spoken to.&nbsp;The mom of 8 recently finished 2 x 200mile races that were 11 days apart, coming in 3FOA and 2OA /2F. Oh, and did I mention she home schools all 8 of her children? We no longer have the "I'm too busy," excuse.&nbsp; More from Dena&nbsp;https://www.instagram.com/denajcarr/&nbsp; More from Me @hilsport55 or ruggedconditioning.com&nbsp;

E37 Dena: This is strong

After Vanessa's 2nd baby was born, she decided it was time to run her first 50km. Her journey wasn't an easy one. She couldn't train during pregnancy with a subchorionic haematoma, and once she began running postpartum she was quickly stopped by pubic symphysis diastasi. She tells her story of her first 50km made possible by the support from her husband, her team of doctors, and of course, a ton of hard work juggled with raising tiny humans. &nbsp; More from me @hilsport55 or ruggedconditioning.com&nbsp;

E38 Vanessa: A young mom tackles her first 50km

Kaytlyn is an ultrarunner and bioengineer, who got tricked into starting distance running by enrolling in a 2-credit PE class in college. Thanks to that class she eventually ran her first road marathon in Wisconsin. After moving to Seattle she in love with the trails and mountains in the PNW, and quickly got hooked on mountain running, mountaineering, and adventuring. She now fills her time with adventures in the mountains while training for ultra-distance trail races. Her favourite days are those that take her far out into the wilderness on ridgelines, glaciers, and volcanos.&nbsp; &nbsp; Find me @hilsport55 &nbsp; More from Katlyn: @kaytlyn_g &nbsp;
