Trail Running Women Hilary Spires: Trail Runner, Coach, Sports Junkie

We are back with Cory Jennermann, co-founder of RunGuides.com, and super skilled runner and pacer. Run Guides is the go-to website for finding the perfect race for you. We chat about his top tips for getting faster in the trails, how to easily cut off time in your next race, and how to pace like a pro. We get into all things pacing from dialing in road splits, to pacing friends in super long trail events, and when to throw oranges at them.

I first interviewed Lizzie in 2020 when we was diagnosed with rare heart condition called AVRC. It's genetic condition that effects the muscle in your heart and makes it turn into scar tissue the harder you work the muscle. In short, it means running can kill you. We chat again about how she's learned to live with it and how far she can push. 
Lizzie found running in her mid 20's and quickly fell in love. It became a huge part of her life as she began winning races and spending her weekends adventuring. She even met her now husband when they shared the podium together at a 50km.

April went from not being able to run 60 seconds to running the Chicago Marathon. When she was in the darkest place in her life she buckled down and got out the door. She didn’t know anything about running, she just wanted to have peace in her mind and to love life again, and she did! She is now 4 years in the game and loving what running has done for her and her life.
