Priscilla Forgie is a trail ultramarathon runner currently living in Edmonton, AB.  She discovered running during a period of her life when she felt the need for connection and quickly found the trail running community provided exactly that!  A few weeks ago she was the top Canadian and 8th female to cross the finish line at Western States Endurance Run! Priscilla broke onto the elite scene in 2021 with a first place finish at the 125K Canadian Death Race and Grizzly Ultra 50K. In 2022 Priscilla not only won the Near Death Marathon outright, but set a new overall course record.  She continued on to place first at the Squamish 50/50 (and set the course record!) and Ultra Trail du Harricana, and earned her golden ticket to Western States with a 2nd place finish at Canyons 100K this spring.  In this episode we talk about:Priscilla’s introduction to trail runningHer experience at Western States this yearHow her vegan diet supports her training and recoveryHow important it is to be inclusive in our running communityHer plans for the rest of the season!There was a lot of laughing in this episode and it was a pleasure to get to know this up and coming Canadian runner.Connect with Priscilla:Instagram: @prissyforgieConnect with Carolyn & Kim:Email us with guest ideas: inspiredsolescast@gmail.comInspired Soles InstagramKim's InstagramKim's FacebookCarolyn's InstagramCarolyn's FacebookCarolyn's websiteWe love hearing from you!
