Anne Flower | Black Canyon Ultras + Balancing Life as a Physician

There's no such thing as an overnight success but Anne Flower sure felt like it in the last year. She appeared virtually out of no where to snag the Leadville 100 course record from the great Anne Trason, set the 50 mile world record at Tunnel Hill, and get the overall Win at Javelina Jundred.

But its not true. She's been running hard for a long time but her first passion has been in the drivers seat - her career as a physician in Colorado Springs.

She's racing Black Canyon Ultras - 100k - to test herself against a super speedy field and she sat down to talk with Josh to talk shop about her career to this point and how she's thinking about BC specifically.

Anne's insights on trainingAnne's insights on ultra running from a physician's perspectiveHer approach compared to David Roche's as the two NEW Leadville CR holdersHer thoughts on Black Canyon's lack of prize moneyHer fondness for Moab trail racingHer perspective as an elite runner and sponsorships while remaining hyperfocused on her non-running career.

Presented by Kiprun.
