Mile After Mile Podcast

Heike Yates and I discussed her running the JFK 50 miler in 2012. Heike shares how she started running way before the JFK 50.  We talk about the backstory of the JFK 50 and why she selected this race. We talk about how she prepared for the race both with her training, nutrition and mental preparation.  We discuss how runners step up from shorter races to Ultra marathons. We talk about pancakes. It's a good story - you'll enjoy it.  Heike shares the terrain and the course for the race and how her day unfolded on race day from the weather to her support crew and how long it took her to cover 50 miles of running.  She shares how she made her running strategy for the race including pacing, making and using a cue sheet and being paced by her son.
