The post Episode 328: Sally McRae – 2021 Badwater 135 Champion appeared first on Lindsey Hein.

Sally Mcrae is a tough as nails ultra runner. She has an infectious personality that just makes you want to be a happy person; plain and simple. She has two kids and manages training at a very high level while also doing speaking engagements and running her own business where she does one time coaching consultations. She is coached my Mario Fraioli and has just announced she’ll be running the Northface 50 in just a few weeks. Sally has a long list of big achievements in the ultra running scene including taking the win at Terawera 100 and placing 7th at Western States in 2015. She also took on the endeavor of her first Badwater this past summer – which was a big deal for someone who usually sticks to trails and mountains.

In this episode we learn about how Sally became passionate about running, we talk about motherhood and so much more. Sally speaks to me in a way that is engaging and uplifting. I felt empowered and appreciative of her kindness when we got off the call.
