Dora Atim joins me for a conversation about what it means to take up space in running: as a coach, as a Black woman, and as someone who's had to navigate both visibility and vulnerability in the trail world.

We talk about what really happened in 2022, how she started Ultra Black Running, and the parts of coaching that don’t always get talked about - from overstimulation in the classroom to managing people's unrealistic goals.

Dora speaks openly about the emotional side of running, being labeled “too much,” and the fine line between discipline and obsession.

Thank you Dora for your honesty and trust!
