Episode 468 - Michelle Frost: Running 350km (ish) & Finding Joy in the Delirious Unknown

In a delightful flip of roles, this episode brings you something special—Michelle Frost is in the hot seat, interviewed by none other than her daughter, Nikki, just days after finishing the epic Delirious West 200-miler. What unfolds is a beautiful, funny, and deeply honest conversation about what it’s really like to spend four days and nights on the trails, chasing dots, dodging frogs, navigating fatigue, and finding strength in unexpected places.

 

From music that sparked trail dancing to micro-naps while running, Michelle shares the mental highs, the physical challenges (blisters, hello), and the emotional power of community, family support, and the “why” that drove her forward.

 

This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought “could I?”—Michelle’s answer is “Yes. If I can, you can.”

 

Key Highlights:

•What it’s like to run for four days straight (and still be smiling!)

•The mental rollercoaster—self-doubt, joy, and music as a mindset shift

•Navigating logistics, gear chaos, and the power of a good crew

•Why she kept going: family support, community love, and a little bit of stubbornness

•Frogs, orb spiders, dirt naps… and the magic of trail friendships

•A fresh take on recovery, resilience, and redefining what we think is possible
