Episode 125 with Pro Trail Runner Dani Moreno

In this episode we talk with pro trail runner and SubHub Podcast co-host, Dani Moreno about:
How a running break between college and her pro career helped reignite her passion for running
Her nutrition strategies, and how they’ve changed as she’s evolved as a runner, including through an eating disorder in her youth
Her love and gratitude for sport
Dani Moreno is a pro trail runner residing in the Eastern Sierra mountain town of Mammoth Lakes, CA. She moved to the mountains at the end of 2020 from the coastal town of Santa Barbara, where she lived for a decade. While at UC Santa Barbara, she competed for the women’s Cross Country and Track and Field programs, producing times that made her competitive on the conference and national level. After college, she took a break from running to rediscover herself, leaning into outdoor guiding and things like climbing, spearfishing, motorcycle riding and other activities that pushed her to her physiological limits. She found nothing gave her quite the same satisfaction as running and began dabbling in trail running, which reignited her passion. Soon she was exploring the Los Padres National Forest’s front range on her off days. Trail running immediately appealed to all aspects of her personality in a way that no other type of running had before. As she began to race trails, new opportunities arose and doors opened. She began traveling all over the world, feeling gratitude the whole way. That feeling hasn’t quit since 2016. Since her debut to the sport, she has exploded on the sub-ultra and ultra scene, with an incredible number of podium and top 10 finishes, including being the top American at UTMB’s World Championship OCC race in Chamonix in August 2024, a top 5 finish at the 2024 Broken Arrow Skyrace 26k, 1st at Canyons Endurance Race, 1st at Kodiak Ultra Marathon 50k in 2023, 2nd at Mammoth Trailfest 26k in 2023, and many others.
