Headwall & Heart: Conquering the Sleeping Giant 50K

Niagara Chaos with the Idiots

Celeste and the crew recap a chaotic and hilarious trip to Niagara: a scenic 50K with unexpected cutoff drama, big PRs, ziplining over the falls, late-night fireworks, a fox sighting, and one very forgotten batch of cupcakes. They share race surprises, course details, volunteer mix-ups, and why they’d do it again—maybe with more training and fewer Timbits.

Host Celeste Fong talks with Alyssa Freeze about her running journey — from starting during COVID to running Boston and falling in love with trail ultras.

Alongside lots of profanity and humor, the episode explores why trail community, mental toughness, and female-focused training matter, and teases upcoming races and plans.

Between real talk and profanity-laced laughs, the group praises the crew and pacers who stuck around through the night, shares survival tips (and questionable decisions), and teases future plans to train more runners for the 112-mile event.
