Stefanie Flippin: This Sport Is Not a Solo Sport - R4R 414

Stefanie Flippin is one of the fastest women in the world at the 100 mile distance, but she isn’t exclusively a record-setting ultra runner. She’s also a running coach, writer, co-host of the “Making Strides” podcast, and a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, who gets as much or more satisfaction from helping others achieve their goals as she does from reaching her own.
