Heat, Heart, and Multi-Day Miles: Meg Eckert Never Stops Running

This week on the Dirt and Vert Podcast, we are joined by one of the most versatile and high-performing athletes in the ultra world: Meg Eckert.

Meg is a force to be reckoned with, whether she’s running circles at Desert Solstice, tackling the furnace of Badwater 135, or preparing for the 250-mile journey at Cocodona. We go deep into the "how" of her training—from the calculated suffering of sauna sessions to the mental flexibility required to survive a 6-day race. Meg also highlights the incredible rise of the female ultra-running community and the deep emotional bonds that make races like Snowdrop so much more than just a distance on a map.

If you want to know what it takes to perform at the elite level while maintaining a deep passion for the community.
