Grayson Murphy is a professional runner-of-all-trades: a multi-time World and US Mountain Running Champion, Olympic Trials steeplechaser, Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, and now a newly minted ultrarunner with her 5th place finish at the Broken Arrow 46k!

She's also newly diagnosed with an auto-immune disease that's had a big impact on her training and racing over the past two years.

In this episode, Lauren and Grayson talk about her quick and powerful rise in the sport, how her unconventional path to professional running (and sponsorship) on track, trail, and road paved the way for a new wave of athletes to follow - and brands to support.

Hear how her passion for learning and problem solving have guided her career; how a difficult-to-diagnose auto-immune condition threatened to derail her career at it's peak; how she's working with it to continue to grow and evolve at the top of the sport; and what's coming up next!
