On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with Elite Ultra Trail Runner, Arden Young.
For Arden early on, running was a way for her to lose weight and maintain a certain body image. Today, her relationship to running looks much different.
She's an incredible athlete who focused most of her efforts on the trails. Racing distances ranging from 50 miler all the way to 100 and by the end of them, you can usually find her name a top the leader board.
