On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great conversation with ultra trail runner and recent Western States 3rd place finisher, Marianne Hogan.
She did elite level triathlon, distance running for her school in California, trails in Colorado, and over the last few years Marianne has built a solid ultra running resume.
Battling through serious injury, she earned herself a Golden Ticket to Western States and finished that race on the podium. It really seems like she's finding her stride and ready to take the ultra scene by storm.
