100 - Badwater 135 Finisher on Lessons from "The World's Toughest Foot Race" (with Kelaine Conochan)

100 - Badwater 135 Finisher on Lessons from "The World's Toughest Foot Race" (with Kelaine Conochan)

Badwater 135 is a 135-mile race across Death Valley, where temperatures reach 125 degrees, runners cover an elevation gain of more than 20,000 feet, and where one of the primary injury concerns is organ failure. Today's guest, Kelaine Conochan, has completed it twice. Her most recent Badwater finish came this past July with Clay acting as one of the four members of her crew. She has also completed three 100-milers, nine 50-milers, and more than 20 marathons, with multiple Boston-qualifying finishes. Today, she talks about her training for Badwater—which included running 100+ mile weeks and heat training that require hour-long sits in a 160-degree sauna—as well as what her experience with endurance and performance has taught her about relinquishing control, vulnerability, problem-solving, and learning how to navigate extreme difficulty.
