Rachel Entrekin - American elite ultramarathon runner and physical therapist known for her remarkable performances in some of the world’s toughest long-distance trail races.

Rachel joins the Keep Hammering Collective to talk about her path from a full-time job to life as a full-time athlete, balancing sponsorships, science, and the grit of mountain running. She opens up about overcoming an eating disorder, finding strength through lifting, embracing imperfections, and building a “bulletproof” life - on and off the trails. From Hardrock dreams and Courtney Dauwalter inspiration to pain caves, haters, and why speedwork is still the worst, this episode is honest, motivating, and unapologetically real.
