Ep. #67 - First time is a charm - 43 laps makes a Canadian ultra-champion

This week Dave and Joe, Chasing Tomorrow podcast co-show hosts, have the pleasure of talking to Montreal-based, Stephanie Simpson. Stephanie began running in 2008 as a way to deal with stress when her mother was sick. She started running shorter distances like 5Ks and 10Ks, eventually working her way up to the marathon. She completed her first 50K ultramarathon after the birth of her first child in 2015 and never looked back. She was relatively unknown in the world of ultra running until last October, when she became the Canadian winner of the distributed Big's Backyard in 43 hours to lead Team Canada to a third-place finish.
