About this episode
Runners, hikers, and adventure-lovers will enjoy this exciting episode with two women (including co-host Tish Hamilton!) detailing their recent epic hikes up Africa’s tallest peak. With host Sarah Bowen Shea, the marathoners-turned-hikers share:
-how hiking vertically differs from running distances;
-their training in preparation for the 19,000’+ climb;
-the daily details of the hike;
-the physical + mental challenges they each had to face; and,
-that the descent was tougher than the ascent!
Before the talk turns to hiking around BARRY INSERT TIME HERE, PacNW Sarah tells of running in Kentucky—and the delight of seeing her son perform in a professional musical!
