Over on Women’s Running, I’m talking about what I learned from my first 50K race, from fueling to mindset to WTF to wear. (Note: this is behind the Pocket Outdoor Media paywall so you do need to be a subscriber. If you’re not, I have a few more 50K musings and tips right here. I also have some 50K gear tips here.)
About Molly Hurford

She’s the author of multiple books and her most recent project, Shred Girls, is a young adult fiction series and online community focused on getting girls excited about bikes.
