Welcome to Flagstaff Bound, a special Cocodona 250 series brought to you by the @DistanceToEmptyPod and hosted by Kevin Goldberg and Peter Noyes.
Megan Eckert joins the show to discuss transitioning from a world class loop and backyard ultra specialist to her first traditional point to point 200 miler. While Megan has surpassed 250 miles many times including 526 miles over six days on an indoor track Cocodona 250 represents a new challenge merging her trail background with elite multi day endurance.
Megan breaks down adapting her tactical sleep and gamification for Arizona dirt moving from 20 minute backyard naps to a flexible trail strategy. We discuss her life as a high school cross country coach, how her students motivate her, and her recent fastpacking mission to scout the terrain from Black Canyon City to Flagstaff.
