61: Mercedes Siegle-Gaither on Endurance, Competition & Growing as an Athlete

So excited to welcome Mercedes Siegle-Gaither for this new episode, she is a professional ultra mountain runner for Merrell, based in Colorado. She has been running ultras for over a decade, exploring different distances and terrain, and recently raced UTS 100 miles and Arc50 in the UK so we dive into those in more details. We also discuss the balancing act of wanting to do it all: racing, staying competitive, crewing friends, traveling, and choosing the right events to support long-term goals like UTMB, while protecting your mental energy to avoid burnout.

She also shares insights about her journey with sponsorship, and advice for athletes hoping to build those partnerships in a sustainable and authentic way. Hope you enjoy this episode!
