She ran 100K through the desert, and that was just the beginning.
In this episode of Embers Rising, we sit down with ultra-runner, coach, and mountain adventure leader Audrée Lafrenière. From qualifying for Boston to finishing the brutal Desert Rats 100K, she opens up about mental grit, letting go of perfection, and stepping fully into her own rhythm.
🎙 Topics we cover:
→ What it really takes to finish a 100K
→ Mindset vs. mechanics on the trail
→ Ditching the pressure to “look” like a runner
→ How Audrée found freedom in the mountains, and now leads others to do the same
