In 2023, she set the course record on the Badwater 135, which is considered the hardest race in the world because it is so freaking hot.
So she has a lot of wisdom about exercising in the heat.
Not to mention, she is the world record holder for running 100 miles both on a treadmill and outdoors.
Crazy endurance athlete.
But here's the thing.
She was not always an endurance athlete.
She didn't even start running and competing until she was on her fourth kid.
She is now a grandma who is setting world records.
She lives in St.
George, Utah.
And so she remoted in to talk to us from her hot, hot desert home in St.
George.
Let's bring her on now.
Ashley, thanks for coming on the show.
I'm excited to be here.
Thank you for having me.
I'm so psyched you're here.
Okay, so first of all, for listeners who don't know what Badwater 135 is, please lay it out for us.
Explain what this thing is.
Badwater, it is considered, they say, the world's toughest foot race.
