In episode #158 we talk with runner and gravel cyclist Anna Gibson about:

• Her approach to fueling and hydration in training and races
• Heat training and adaptation
• Supplement strategies and lab testing to determine biomarkers

Anna Gibson was raised on the edge of Grand Teton National Park. What’s now considered“training” began simply as time in the mountains with family and friends, doing what she loved. Originally aspiring to become a pro ski racer, Anna was a competitive runner and nordic ski racer in high school. Her ski racing career culminated with an individual title at the cross-country skiing Junior National Championships in 2017, but she went on to pursue running at the University of Washington, where she competed in the Pac-12 while earning her undergraduate degree and Masters. There she anchored her team’s Distance Medley Relay to a new NCAA record, but she spent her summers trail racing, with a few notable performances. After a 4th place finish at her 1st Mountain Running World Cup in France, and wins in both the VK and 11k at The Rut, she put competing internationally in trail running on her radar. She still loves to explore on her bike, and spend winters skinning up mountains. 

Anna now competes in track/road and trail events for Brooks, but still prioritizes her other outdoor pursuits, billing herself as an “all-types-of-running-plus-some-other-sports athlete. She continues to achieve notable results on the trail, most recently coming in 3rd at the Trail Running World Champs and 10th in the Golden Trail Series Final, as well as 3rd at the 2025 Broken Arrow Skyrace 23k, 1st in the 2025 Broken Arrow Ascent, and 1st Overall in the Sunapee Scramble. She also recently took 10th at the 2025 SBT GRVL.
