Badwater 135 and Badass Course Records with Michelle Barton

Michelle Barton, Ultra Runner and Co-Host of the Training For
Ultra and Trail Runner Nation podcasts, joins us this week to
talk about her experience and accomplishments with Ultra Trail
Running.


Michelle has run some incredible races including Badwater 135,
from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney; the Javelina Jundred, a 100
mile self proclaimed desert trail run costume party; and 
Caballo Blanco joining the Tarahumara Indians in Mexico. She has
also set over 24 course records. 


Michelle’s running appears in a chapter she wrote in Chicken Soup
for the Soul, about her experience running Badwater 135 and the
extreme challenges she dealt with to finish the race.


In this episode, we talk to Michelle about how her love of the
outdoors led to her running and how her running has taken on
bigger and longer challenges over the years. And she also has
words of encouragement for those who would like to dip their toes
into the waters of Ultra Running.
