About this episode

Tansey Lystad is a runner, part of Tracksmith’s amateur program and runs for Boulder Underground, a semi professional sunrise and sunset chaser, high school science teacher, dad joke connoisseur, and a life enthusiast.

In this episode we talked about:

• finding happiness

“Don’t crack the egg” and not holding goals too tight

• therapy and mental health
• running strong despite an otherwise challenging year
• success
• big dreams
• sunrise chasing
• The Track Club/Boulder Underground

Thanks to GU Energy Labs for sponsoring this episode. Initially known as THE energy gel company, GU now offers several different product lines designed to meet the needs of today’s athlete.

It’s not just the mid run refueling option that I love, but their post run recovery protein that mixes SO well with coffee, or even the before bed magnesium and vitamin D supplement too. No other magnesium supplement has worked as well as theirs has for me.

This season of running is a great time to try something new, so why not try GU?
