"I went into it with no expectations and a lot of gratitude."

Fresh off her seventh 100-miler finish \\u2014 and second finish at the Hardrock 100 \\u2014\\xa0Emily Halnon returns to the Ali on the Run Show for the sixth time. In this conversation, Emily talks about getting a call 19 hours before the race start saying she\'d gotten off the waitlist. Should she want it, a bib for the esteemed 102.5-mile race in Colorado was hers. She wanted it. So, she wrangled her crew (and an extra pair of socks), and went on to finish this year\'s race nearly two hours faster than in 2022. She finished in 36 hours and 47 minutes \\u2014 the ninth woman and 33rd finisher overall. Today, we get to hear all about it, including why this race means so much to Emily, what it\'s like racing alongside Courtney Dauwalter, and what happened when Emily hit her lowest point of the race. Plus, all about her forthcoming book, which she finished and submitted to her publisher the day before lining up at the Hardrock start line.
