660. Run Your Way with Courtney Dauwalter, 2023 Western States & Hardrock 100 Champion

"I want to make sure I can be doing this for many years to come and not overdo it. So I'm trying to be smart. It's less fun being smart."

First, she won the Western States Endurance Run 100-mile race, and set a course record in the process. And then, just three weeks later, Courtney Dauwalter ran, won, and set a course record at the Hardrock 100. In this conversation, Courtney returns to the Ali on the Run Show to talk about her back-to-back wins, and about why — she swears — it's not about the clock, the wins, or the records.
