Welcome to The Runegade Podcast: we’re set to explore the human connection with running, through conversation, big stories, guest interviews and our own experiences - we're your hosts Mark Prociw and Todd Marentette.

Episode 11: Sabrina B. Little - philosopher, professor, ultrarunner, wife, mother and now author, joins the podcast. Sabrina is a trail, road, and ultramarathon runner, amassing an extraordinary running career - with more to come!

Sabrina's new book: The Examined Run: Why Good People Make Better Runners is the foundation for the episode and we can easily understand why Sabrina is dynamite trail runner - she's a good person!

Overall, our conversation with Sabrina explores the intersection of running, philosophy, and personal growth. We learn about Sabrina's running story, her love for trail running, and the intersection of philosophy and running. The conversation touches on the themes of joy in running, the application of philosophy to all aspects of life, and the concept of ascent in both running and philosophy.

Sabrina discusses the connection between running and philosophy, specifically how running can contribute to character development. She emphasizes the importance of virtues such as patience, perseverance, and joy in running and in life. All the while, honestly sharing her experiences as a runner and the lessons she has learned along the way.

Sabrina's Career Highlights:

• 5-time US National Champion
• 5-time US National Team Member
• World Silver Medalist, Team Gold Medalist (2013)
• In 2013 she held both the 24-Hour American Record (152.03 miles) and the 200K American Record (19 hours, 30 minutes
• In 2019, she ran the fastest 100K and 50-mile times for women in the US and now ranks 10th in American history for the 50-mile.

And not only an ultrarunner, but a philosopher at heart. In her new book, Sabrina explores virtue ethics - a moral theory that emphasizes virtues and moral character. She shares "that having virtue and vice concepts is like being given spectacles that help an athlete to better see herself"
