DNFs, Comebacks, and Run Tours | Laura Bradley
Description
In this episode of Pushing Horizons: Steps by Steps, we dive into DNFs, comebacks, and the world of running tours with a runner who’s been shaping her community for over two decades. From faking asthma attacks in high school to finishing a 100-mile course she designed herself, her journey is anything but ordinary.
We talk about the sting of DNFs, the grit it takes to come back from stress fractures, why the 50K is the perfect racing distance, and how urban exploration on foot can be just as transformative as trail running. With nearly 30 ultras since 2020, records at Miami’s Ride the Wave 50K, and years as a running tour guide, her story is equal parts resilience and inspiration.
If you’ve ever questioned why you run, how to handle setbacks, or what it means to stay in love with the sport for the long haul, this conversation will hit home.
