Worlds Toughest Mile, Running The Date and Filling Our Cup First | OutRunUs Podcast | Ep 11

In this episode of The OutRun Us Podcast, the girls dive into Tay taking on the infamous World’s Toughest Mile — despite barely knowing what it actually involved until the day before. What sounded like “just a mile” quickly turned into burpees, lunges, bear crawls, and pure survival mode, with the bear crawl nearly breaking Tay completely. The girls also talk about Kitija’s April challenge: Run The Date. At the time of recording, she was on Day 25 — meaning 25 miles in a single day — while balancing recovery, life, and the mental challenge of showing up every day. The episode also covers Tay completely changing her routine, switching from late-night runs to morning runs to “fill her cup” first, helping her go from running 25 miles a week to 70–80. The girls get into deeper conversations too: finding purpose in running beyond achievements, whether Kitija is still sad, and what it means to have friends who truly push you towards your dreams and know exactly what you’re capable of. What we cover: • Tay completing the World’s Toughest Mile • Burpees, lunges, and bear crawls • Kitija’s Run The Date challenge — Day 25 • Tay switching to morning runs • Going from 25 miles a week to 70–80 • Finding purpose beyond achievements • Friendships that push you forward Follow The OutRun Us Podcast for more ultrarunning, endurance culture, and honest conversations about figuring life out through running.
