S2E4 -- Conversations to End Stigmas (with guests Shane Mascarin & Toni Hodge)

Two athletes who are more than happy to discuss topics often stigmatized are in this episode.

My first conversation is with multi-515 finisher and ultrarunner, Shane Mascarin.  Shane shares stories of his previous races, with some great tips, and openly discusses his mental health and how he has learned to regulate his medication during the stress of ultra events. 

Steve King Stories features Scottish born athlete Milind Soman from Mumbai, India.

The athlete in profile feature is with New Zealander, Toni Hodge.   Toni discusses her ascent to the Ultraman distance through battles with Mother Nature and how she has had to adapt her training after going through menopause.
