Western States, Coast to Kosci, Pacers, and Backing Up Races feat. Holly Ranson | Episode 123

In this episode brought to you by ASICS, James is joined by Sim to talk to Holly Ranson about all things Western States; from her eye troubles during, recovery afterwards, and answering a listener question about pacers. We also get top hear about Holly's plans for Coast to Kosci this year and her approach to it, which includes a huge backup from winning Baradorf 125km over the weekend to tackling Transcend 65km this coming weekend! Sim then gives a brief update as she approaches Trofeo Kima this weekend (apologies for the Italian mountain internet/less than ideal audio though!) before James and Holly dive into news items of the week ranging from race cancellatiuons due to event clashes in Queensland to the release of the UTMB week elite lists - an exciting couple of weeks ahead for sure! Finally plenty of results to be excited about - we hope you enjoy this one! *Note - there is a brief section at the very start of poor audio from Holly, it gets better quickly so bear with us, and apologies for the late drop this week!
