Ep. 168: The Long Trail

This week Dawson and Clint got to catch up with Liz 'Mercury' Derstine! You may remember Liz from episodes 72 and 111; she is a distance runner and a trail hiker - oh, and she is fast! She started running at age 14 and has been immersed in running, hiking, and competing ever since. Liz has set FKT's (fastest known times) for the women's supported Smokies Challenge Adventure Run, for the Appalachian Trail (supported - northbound), Pinhoti Trail, and RECENTLY set the FKT for the oldest long distance trail in the US, the Long Trail! This was a great conversation about training, mindset, gear, and of course - lot's of stories!
