In this episode of Get Stoked Girls, we sit down with professional ultrarunner and HOKA athlete Annie Hughes, known for her strength in the 200-mile distance.

Annie’s running journey began with a surprise win in the fifth grade mile fitness test. She went on to compete in collegiate track and cross-country, but eventually found her passion in the mountains. She has summited all of Colorado’s 14ers, set an FKT on the 160-mile Collegiate Loop, and earned wins at iconic races like Leadville 100, Tahoe 200, Moab 240, Cocodona 250 (just to name a few).

We caught up with Annie in Leadville, Colorado, where her love for trail running first began. She walks us through what it takes to train for multi-day races, how she approaches fueling and sleep, and the mindset that keeps her going through the highs and lows of ultrarunning.
