Episode Notes
Anne Flower is a pro runner for HOKA and Neversecond based in Colorado Springs, CO. In 2025, Anne exploded into the trail running conversation when she broke Ann Trason's course record at the historic Leadville 100 - a mark that stood for 31 years. Later in the fall, Anne went to Tunnel Hill where she broke the 50-mile World Record by a remarkable 13min margin.
One of the breakout stars of the 2025 season, Anne will be among the favorites at this week's Black Canyon 100k, where she hopes to earn a Golden Ticket to Western States. This is her first appearance on the podcast.
