Episode #75: Balance of Mind & Body with Courtney Coppinger

Courtney Coppinger has made her mark in mountain running as one of the best trail runners in the world. In 2025, she walked away with a 3rd place VK World Cup title and a 2nd place Classic World Cup title. She has been on the podium of multiple Golden Trail Series races and continues to be a force on the world stage. All accolades aside, she has been transparent about her lack of mind and body connection in the 2026 racing season. We dive into what that has been like for her, what things are bringing her joy in running right now, and where she stands with sustainability in trail running. We also chat about her new trail running camp: Inner Terrain. Inner Terrain lives at the intersection of art and movement and is designed for the creative athlete.
