Katie Asmuth: On Her Western States 100 Debut In Historic Year For Female Runners | BYP

For this episode of the Billy Yang Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Katie Asmuth, an emerging ultramarathoner from Southern California who turned many heads by finishing 5th at the 2021 Western States Endurance Run in a historic year for women. We talk through her running journey, how running plays a part in her life as a mom and nurse practitioner and much more.

Nice job Billy. Good interview, her joy, humility and work ethic is so great!

[@JMoff67]

Ah so glad you did this interview, Billy! I was there pacing and crewing and totally became a fan of Katie’s seeing here just CRUSH it with such joy and gratitude!! Thanks for scoring a big one for all us ultra Moms out there Katie!

[@guyguruta778]

Really happy to see you again Billy...you are very good at what you do...making people feel at ease

[@BillyYang]

thanks guy :)

[@stevejosepher7787]

Such a great interview, Billy! Her comfort level with you allowed you to bring out her down to earth and genuine qualities (and her joy). Love when women admit vocally they want to be good and compete. Have a strong feeling this won't be the last we're hearing of Katie Asmuth!

I like the line about not really being in pain but its more of just an expected sensation, I guess I felt the same way but never really put words to it or described it that way. Glad to hear and plan on using that mentality very soon! Always something to learn from others. Thanks

Great laid back interview and inspiring girl right there. Well done guys great watch 👏👏👏👌🏻

So good to see your face again, Billy. Katie seems like a great person and is truly inspiring.

[@pablomarani3799]

Amazing interview! Thanks! A couple of interesting things: - finding a balance between confidence (to compete and run ultras) with humbleness (running an ultra is getting into the unknown) - considering running as life journey! It is amazing the virtuous circle of inspiration: inspired people naturally end up inspiring others! Thanks again!

Great Interview. I didn't know much about her before the interview

[@kateterry5395]

You’re the best Billy

[@runnerup9786]

Great interview Billy, you should have a chat show!🤣 Nice to hear how normal these Ultra athletes are, although Katie is on a real high!💯 Will you be doing an interview with Beth Pascall perhaps? 😃

Hi Billy. Did you and Courtney record a podcast with Rich Roll. If yes, any idea when it's going to be released?
