Callie and Scott are both taking on Western States 100 this year. And as a couple, they’ve spent tons of time together training, preparing, and getting ready to toe the line at Olympic Valley this year.
Callie Vinson is an ultrarunner and content creator who has completed the Moab 240, multiple 100 mile races, and tons of other ultramarathons. This will be her first time racing Western States this year, and she has been putting in tons of work to race well, while also documenting her training journey on social media throughout.
Scott Traer is an ultrarunner and coach at Run Fastah who is returning for a second time at Western States after securing a top 10 finish at last year’s race. He also has tons of notable finishes, such as a Golden Ticket win at Black Canyon 100K last year, and multiple wins and podium finishes.
In this episode, Callie and Scott share what it’s been like training for the same race as a couple, their strategies for taking on race day, and how they’ve been preparing their mindsets for race day (spolier alert: Ted Lasso is one of their keys to success).
Huge thank you to Callie and Scott for coming on the show!
