Runners looking for inspiration: Listen to this episode, a conversation with ultrarunner Jacky Hunt-Broersma, who started running a mere five years ago—after losing her leg to cancer two decades ago. With Sarah and Amanda co-hosting, Jacky shares:

-her gratitude about the journey that took her from amputation to professional runner;

-how the first mile of every run is uniquely uncomfortable for her;

-why she finds trails more appealing than roads;

-her "unfinished business" with a 240-mile race in Moab, Utah; and

-her sub-24-hour 100-mile run on a NordicTrack treadmill.

Before the ultramarathoner joins at 13:17, the hosting duo talks about extreme weather they've run in recently.
