It was on the other side of that experience that she found running, using it as a way to rebuild not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.</p><p><br></p><p>We go right back to the beginning—exploring Margie’s early life, the challenges that shaped her, and the journey that led her into the world of endurance running. We then dive deep into the mindset required to take on backyard ultras, and what it really takes to keep showing up when your body is breaking down and your mind is being tested.</p><p><br></p><p>Margie also takes us inside her experience at the Hardcore Harry challenge what 75 days of running actually looks like, the highs, the lows, and the moments that define you.</p><p><br></p><p>This is a powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, and what’s possible when you refuse to quit.</p>
