Get to know Fiona Pascall, who is most recently the women's champion of the Chianti Ultra-Trail 120k where she executed a strong and consistent performance against a very talented women's field - ultimately earning both a Golden Ticket entry to Western States in 2025, as well as entry to UTMB in 2025 and 2026.
In this episode, Lauren and Fiona discuss her younger years, growing up under the wing of her sister Beth Pascall (2021 Western States Champion), struggling with the pain of a chronic injury, discovering her own path to endurance sport, and her trajectory to elite level racing.
We hear all the details of the Chianti race through Fiona's perspective, as well as the decision making process that followed, and what is next for her, professionally and athletically!
