In this episode, Sarah Bursten shares her experience training and racing at the Zion 100-Mile Challenge in 2025.
Sarah talks about "stacking bricks" through training, her favorite mantras, and the unexpected challenge and the friends she made during race weekend that helped her shatter her goal.
Sarah is an endurance runner, a business owner, and a mom of two littles. Her running journey became profoundly meaningful after a cancer diagnosis in 2021. Facing that challenge led her to running her first marathon, earn the Six Star Medal, and conquer a 100-mile ultramarathon. Her story is a testament to how mindset work can turn a "crazy dream" into an undeniable reality, even while balancing family and business life.
Major thank you to Sarah for sharing her experience and her go-to mental skills so we can all shatter our next race!
