Description

In this episode I'm chatting with Natasha Swartley. After retiring from the Navy, she turned her sights to something different - ultra running and more specifically being a race medic. She's got some amazing stories to tell...amongst them...tales about her first 200 mile race, the Tahoe 200. Stay tuned until the end to hear her pro-tips for ultra success - straight from the point of view of a medic! Enjoy!
