Episode 11: Ultrarunning, Pacific Crest Trail and Best Selling Book with Jessica Pekari
This is the 1st Episode in Season 2; Welcome! In this episode, I talk with one of my running role models, Jessica Pekari! Listen as we talk about her adventures; from running her first 100 Mile Ultra, tackling the Triple Crown of 200's and Venturing across the Pacific Crest Trail! We get schooled on meal prepping, navigation and receive training advice for 200(+) mile endurance runs! We also talk about her #1 Best Selling Book titled Bombs to Trails; Interweaving Heritage, Life and PTSD on the Pacific Crest Trail. (If you're a Hiker, Runner, or Adventurer, You Need This Book!) Through her book, we find that we have a connection that stems deeper than running! Lastly, Jessica leaves us with an appreciative feeling for everyone in our respective lives that help us accomplish our athletic goals!
