In today’s episode, I interview ultra-runner Paige Pattillo. Paige grew up running in her hometown Bothell, Washington. She ran cross country at the University of Portland. Two years ago, at the age of 26, Paige ventured into the ultra-running racing scene. Paige recently completed in the Gorge Waterfall 100k, and because of her finish, was one of just ten people to receive a golden ticket to the Western States, one of the most competitive and prestigious 100 mile races in the world. Who in their right mind would want to run 100 miles? I did not understand it, until I did some investigation. After talking with Paige, it’s clear why people catcha the ultra-running bug. Paige is a very inquisitive soul and we go deep into her mindset during her races. In our conversation we talk about: -why Paige and her wife, former Seattle Reign FC Player Keelin Winters Pattillo, lived in a camper van for over 3 months in Australia for their honeymoon -Paige’s counter-cultural motto “just don’t do it” and how training less improved her performance. -Her experience with  “runner’s high” and how she loses sense of time. -How she deals with the negativity during the lowest point of her races. -Her training regimen for the Western States 100 mile race -Why she believes every human, physiologically, was made perfectly for long distance running And more. Here’s the the 100 mile Western States documentary Paige shared with me. Be prepared to get me amped up on life!
