Priscilla Forgie is a trail ultramarathon runner currently living in Edmonton, AB.  She discovered running during a period of her life when she felt the need for connection and quickly found the trail running community provided exactly that!  A few weeks ago she was the top Canadian and 8th female to cross the finish line at Western States Endurance Run! 

Priscilla broke onto the elite scene in 2021 with a first place finish at the 125K Canadian Death Race and Grizzly Ultra 50K. In 2022 Priscilla not only won the Near Death Marathon outright, but set a new overall course record.  She continued on to place first at the Squamish 50/50 (and set the course record!) and Ultra Trail du Harricana, and earned her golden ticket to Western States with a 2nd place finish at Canyons 100K this spring.  

In this episode we talk about:

• Priscilla’s introduction to trail running
• Her experience at Western States this year
• How her vegan diet supports her training and recovery
• How important it is to be inclusive in our running community
• Her plans for the rest of the season!

There was a lot of laughing in this episode and it was a pleasure to get to know this up and coming Canadian runner.
