NEW EPISODE DROP!🎙🏃‍♀️⛰️💥⁣
⁣⁣
📣 Episode 121 of the @just.trek podcast feat. Daisy Martinez @elementsofdaisy is now live and streaming on Spotify, Apple, Youtube and wherever you listen to podcasts. 🔗 Full episode links in bio. ⁣
⁣
On this episode, our host @justroc is joined by SoCal based ultra trail runner, outdoor adventurer, and trail running mentor Daisy Martinez, returning to the Just Trek Podcast nearly six years after her first appearance on the show.⁣
⁣
We catch up on Daisy’s journey over the past several years, the challenges that forced her to rebuild her strength, endurance, and confidence, and what ultimately led her to one of her biggest adventures yet: solo trail running the 72-mile High Sierra Trail from Whitney Portal to Crescent Meadow. 🏔️🏃🏽‍♀️⁣
⁣
Daisy takes us inside this wild journey, from summiting Mount Whitney to pushing deep across the High Sierra for approximately 42 hours with no sleep. We dive into the highs and lows, sleep deprivation + hallucinations, nutrition + gear, wildlife encounters, unexpected trail angels, and the moments that tested her physically and mentally along the way.⁣
⁣
Beyond the 72 miles, Daisy shares what this experience taught her about resilience, trusting herself, and continuing to chase those “big crazy dreams” while we still have the opportunity to do them. 💫⁣

Running down Devil’s Backbone Trail from the top of Mt. Baldy is a lot of fun! 🏃🏽🏃🏽‍♀️⛰️

Quick trail etiquette reminder:
No matter how fast you’re flying down, hikers/runners going uphill always have the right of way.

What I do… As soon as I see someone coming up, I step aside. Sometimes they’ll wave me past so they can catch their breath and other times they’re thankful for letting them continue their momentum.

Easiest way to remember trail yield etiquette (slowest one has the right of way):
We all yield to horses 🐴
Bikers yield to all 🚲
Downhill yields to uphill ⬆️

Run 84 🏃🏻‍♂️
Triple header Saturday:
- 8 years clean from meth and substances
- Kicking off Cocodona 250 training
- First major hike/run since severely straining/stressing my piriformis muscle

Fantastic Saturday on the mountain - meeting awesome folks (especially other trail and ultra marathon runners), enjoying the beauty of the mountain, and getting back in the training groove. Didn’t realize I hit 8 years until halfway up Baldy too. ✌🏼
