Episode Synopsis

Grayson Murphy is astonishing. She is a current world champion in mountain running, which is a new sport to us, but we’re excited to talk to her about it. She got a bronze this year in the vertical climb for mountain running, and she tells us all about her experience going through the championships. She’s now training and has even recently qualified for going to the Olympics, but has also dealt with some injuries and nerve issues that prevented her from competing and it took a long process of trial and error, but eventually she was able to figure it out and continue training. A bit about Grayson’s experience 1:15How she got into this sport 4:50Moving to running from soccer 14:30Aiming for the olympics 24:10Her boyfriend also shooting high 26:40Self treatment and injury 29:10Mental health and her training logs 34:55Getting a variety of skill sets 43:20“I figured out I had choked out a nerve and so I couldn’t feel a lot of things and I couldn’t get the muscles to turn on, so that’s why it felt dead. It took 4 months of kind of trying to figure out what was wrong, and then once I figured it out it only took 4 weeks to get it up and running again, but it was a long process of trial and error.” 30:36@racin__grayson
