Makena Morley - The Small Steps Lead To The Big Steps

There was a lot of excitement when Makena Morley made her trail running debut late last year, and that excitement is only building as she came back for the Spring season and won/broke the course record in her second ultra last weekend: The Canyons Endurance Runs 50k!

An accomplished road runner from Montana, she counts many of the best American trail runners as her close friends - and their influence is wearing off... in this episode we visit her history in the sport, the lessons she's learning along the way through both road and trail, and of course the play-by-play of her race at Canyons!
