Meghan Slavin is a physical therapist and ultra runner who lives in North Phoenix. In this episode we talked about: -her first run (at 18) -pacing Western States to the finish line -the energy at Western States and her love for the trail community -her evolution into ultra running -what she loves about the hundred mile distance -Hole To Hump FKT (and being the first woman to complete it) -her motivation for doing it -the logistics of starting an FKT that involves a hike down to the base of the Grand Canyon -an epic story of the actual experience -what it was like realizing she had finished the FKT and still had to come down from the top of the peak -and so much more! This episode is brought to you by BeetElite. I was introduced to BeetElite by Amelia ahead of the Spartan World Championships in Tahoe in 2017 due to the benefit of beets when at altitude. I had been looking for a beet product that had a good taste, and have loved BeetElite’s powder mix ever since. Beets can enhance muscle efficiency by reducing the oxygen-cost of exercise, essentially making it easier to work harder. Talk about being efficient. They’ve even done a clinical trial on their product with interval training in cyclists and found an 18% increase in potential duration. Try BeetElite yourself to experience the benefits of beet powered performance.

98. Meghan Slavin: Hole to Hump FKT and more!

Meghan Slavin is a physical therapist and ultra runner.  She comes on the podcast to discuss how she got into running, her first 100 mile race at Javelina Jundred, what it is like being coached by James Bonnett and being the first female to complete fastest known time (FKT) of the Hole-to-Hump. It is a run that starts at the Grand Canyon (elevation - 2500’) and ends at the summit of Mt. Humphreys (elevation - 12,633’-Arizona’s highest point) covering over 70 miles with a time of just over twenty one hours.
