Ashley Haynes and I both serve on the board for Beyond Monumental, the organization behind the CNO Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. We had to wait to record this episode until after she ran a 10K, half marathon, marathon, 50K, 50mile, 100K and 100mile all in 2023...🤯
During this episode we talk about:
- Running the first 7 miles of the Monumental together this year
- The Monumental Kids Movement
- How she thought about running her first ultra while running her first marathon
- The world of ultra running
- How her parents are her biggest cheerleaders and crew
- Her 5 year run streak that started as a New Year's resolution
- The Taylor treadmill workout
- What she eats during a race and her three rules for ultra running
- Awards and age group awards she's received
- Running at night
- How most race pictures are terrible but we got some good ones this year - thank you, Indy photographers!
P.S. This is the last episode of 2023! I'm taking three weeks off for the holidays and vacation. First episode of 2024 will be live on 1/19!
