Jessica Mena is a longtime runner now focused on ultra trail running. She’s continually driven to discover what she is capable of: beginning with her first marathon, at age 12!, to today, as she explores running long distances on the trails.
This episode focuses on Mena reaching one of her biggest goals yet: running 100 kilometers (62 miles) over hilly trails. She shares how it all went down, along with the running journey that got her to this point.
In addition to being a runner, Mena is a physical therapist, coach, and running community builder—she’s the founder of the Tempo
Training Run Club. Mena is driven to find out just how far she can push herself in running. This 100k is the latest adventure in that quest.
