Joe sits down with Everyday Ultra athlete Lila Miller after her incredible performance at the Viper 300, where she became the first woman to ever finish the race and set the new female course record.
At just 22 years old, Lila has already built a wildly unique endurance resume—walking across America, running across Japan, traversing Iceland, finishing 100- and 200-mile races, and now conquering one of the toughest 300-mile races out there.
This conversation dives into the mindset, resilience, and deep passion that fuels her, plus the massive long-term dream she’s chasing next.
If you want inspiration to dream bigger, embrace the process, and keep going when things get hard, this one is for you.
In this episode, Joe and Lila talk about:
How Lila got into ultrarunning at such a young age
The adventures that shaped her, from America to Japan to Iceland
What she learned from failing at her first 100-miler
How she prepared for the Viper 300 while balancing college life
The biggest challenges she faced during the race, including sickness and injury
How she came back from dead last to win and set a course record
Why simplifying the process helped her handle massive goals
Her dream of running around the world and how she’s preparing for it
What every runner can learn from taking small, meaningful steps forward
Listen now if you want to be inspired to go after bigger goals, trust your process, and see what’s possible when passion meets persistence.
