“I discovered trail and ultra and I made a pivot without even thinking about it. I was just like, I am not going back to road ever again.” Shannon Mick is a mental health counselor, ultra runner, and a coach. Shannon chats with guest host Natasha Swartley about taking care of yourself, her virtual Badwater run, Marine Core Marathon, mental health coaching for endurance athletes, and her experience pacing a friend at Badwater 135.
