E151: Talia Chevassus

It's a treat today to chat with ultra runner and acupuncturist Talia Chevassus!

Talia talks about her adventures as a run coach, how her interest in running developed over the past few years, and about future goals. She's rearranged her schedule and life to fit her outdoor passion, while balancing acupuncture clients, yoga and making the majority of her food from scratch.

Our discussion also covers Quebec trails (hello, technical!), nutrition for endurance sports and for recovery, using yoga to cross-train and stay injury-free, hiring a coach, and Talia's love of travel to explore on her own two feet.

It's an inspiring and empowering episode: as she says, the easiest way to keep progressing is to just do what you need to regardless of the weather. That advice holds true no matter which avenue of life we're considering.

Talia is active on Instagram, sharing her run, yoga and food journey as she pushes herself physically while traveling frequently.

Talia and I met during the first loop of Javelina Jundred in Fountain Hills, Arizona this fall. Thank you for doing the podcast to share your story, Talia!
