In this fun episode of Run the Riot, we sit down with Suzan Brydon, a resilient ultrarunner with a story that goes beyond the miles. From discovering ultrarunning during the COVID lockdown to completing grueling 200-mile races, Suzan has an incredible tale of grit, adaptability, and the power of community.

Topics Discussed:

  • Suzan’s Journey into Ultrarunning: Starting with a virtual 50K during the COVID lockdown to benefit military women, Suzan shares how she found her way into the ultra scene.
  • Influence of Her Husband’s Story: Suzan describes how her husband, a multiple-time cancer survivor, inspired her through his own running goals, even during treatment.
  • Unique Challenges in Ultrarunning: We discuss Suzan’s experiences facing extreme heat, sleep deprivation, and hallucinations in races across the U.S.
  • Race Highlights and Lessons Learned: Suzan shares stories from her races at Jackpot, Heartland, and Canebrake 200, emphasizing the importance of mental tools, pacing, and her approach to “just rolling with it.”
  • Big Plans for 2024: Suzan is gearing up to run the American Discovery Trail (2100 miles!), a mission-based journey in partnership with Girls on the Run and Cigna Group, aiming to inspire youth and spread a positive message about healthy living.
