US mountain runner Michelle Merlis joins us to talk about motivation, moving in the mountains and managing the balance between training and work.  

We then checked in with Michelle two years later to hear how the transition into full-time athlete life is treating her, including moving house, international travel and sharing her trails with friendly black bears. 

You can find out more about Michelle on Instagram, or via her website.
