Welcome to Flagstaff Bound, a special Cocodona 250 series brought to you by the @DistanceToEmptyPod and hosted by Kevin Goldberg and Peter Noyes.
Manuela Vilaseca returns to Flagstaff Bound following a historic 2025 season where she smashed the Women's Triple Crown of 200s record by a staggering 29 hours. Manuela reflects on her evolution from her first Cocodona in 2024 where she showed up with zero expectations after a two month injury block to becoming one of the most dominant forces in the 200 mile distance.
In this conversation, Manuela discusses her unique cross train to the start line philosophy and how she manages a grueling international travel schedule while running her own fitness studio in Spain. She opens up about shifting her mindset from seeing running as an obligation to an opportunity, and why she now arrives at these massive races feeling fresher and more joyful than ever.
