Welcome to Flagstaff Bound, a special Cocodona 250 series brought to you by the @DistanceToEmptyPod and hosted by Kevin Goldberg and Peter Noyes.
Lauren Jones joins Flagstaff Bound to dive into her incredible 2nd place finish at the 2022 Cocodona 250 and how she balances an elite running career with her life as a nurse anesthetist in Atlanta, Georgia. From the high-stakes environment of the operating room to the rugged terrain of the Arizona desert, Lauren shares how the discipline of anesthesia translates to the grit required for 250 miles of racing. We explore her history with multi-day efforts, including the lessons learned during her Pinhoti Trail FKT attempt, and what it takes to stay mentally sharp when the miles turn into days.
