Join us for this squatchtastic chat with Ryan and Alex Thorpe as we explore what it really means to crew and run as a family. Ryan and Alex have always been together through the highs, lows, and aid station chaos of ultramarathon racing. Now, with their almost 2-year-old daughter Emily in the mix, they share how their dynamic has evolved as parents, partners, and teammates.We talk about the real-life logistics of race day with a toddler, the emotional and practical challenges of crewing, and how their approach to success has shifted since becoming a family of three. Whether you're a runner, a crew member, or just someone curious about how families navigate the ultra world together, this conversation is full of honest stories, laughs, and lessons learned!
