💭 “You can’t always choose your conditions. But you can choose how you show up.”

What if running long distances wasn’t just about finishing but facing everything that shows up along the way? The rain. The rocks. The raw emotions that hit harder than the hills.

In this episode of Trail Chasers, we sit down with Maranda Muller—ultra-endurance athlete, coach at Mindset Movement, and a quiet storm in the Cape Town trail scene. From breaking poles and breaking down to crawling out of the pain cave with one working sock and one working mindset, Maranda shares what it means to truly “run through anything.” If you’ve ever felt like quitting—or questioned why you signed up in the first place—this one is for you.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ How to build real mental resilience—for racing and life 💥
✅ Why rain, cold, and darkness are the perfect training partners 🌧
✅ The biggest mistakes beginners make and how to avoid them ⚠️
✅ The power of problem-solving when the plan goes to hell 🛠
✅ Why your goal should scare you just enough to change you 🧠
✅ How dry socks can save your race (seriously) 🧦
✅ The beauty of doing hard things—and the joy that follows 💫
