Abby Hall's journey to the 2024 UTMB start line is, in my opinion, one of the most compelling storylines of this year's race.
It's been a while since she was last on the podcast-roughly about two years ago, around this same time, before the same race. This hiatus was not due to a lack of interest on my part. I closely follow her career across various social media platforms; she's an exceptional writer and excels at documenting the life of a professional trail runner.
In our conversation, we cover everything that has happened in the past 15 months and what it took for her to return to the sport's biggest stage. I believe you'll find the discussion highly valuable. Abby is a generous conversationalist who skillfully connects her experiences to the interests of the audience.
