Episode 144: Bri Sullivan on Tackling Life's Mountains and Creating Community

Bri Sullivan was born in a fly-over state and meant for the mountains! 

Bri is a Storyteller | Trail Runner | Mountain Lover | Founder @_wildwomenrunning 

Questions we ask Bri include: 

• We know that you haven’t always been a runner and even avoided running at all costs as you were a gymnast growing up. How did running help you to find your “why” and teach you to trust your body again? 


• Here at SRC, we talk a lot about embracing our strength, body image, and mental well-being. Is this something you have ever been challenged with, and if so, how have you found ways to help? 


• Tell us a little bit about your path into trail and/or ultra running. 


• You’ve started a pretty awesome community, Wild Women Running! Can you speak more on this, your group runs, and the role that community plays in running? 


• How have you adapted and/or stayed connected during COVID? How are you and the other women you train with staying motivated without many races on the calendar? 


• What does your life look like outside of running? 


• Any favorite trails in Arizona and/or races that you’ve done? 


• Looking back, what advice would you give to your younger self? 


• What does being “Strong” mean / look like to you?
