Episode #60 - Christine "Lady Unicorn" Reed - "Why are you going from plodder to FKT?"
05/15/23 • 49 min
In this episode, Courtney talks with friend of the show, Christine “Lady Unicorn” Reed. They talk about learning to truly hear your body’s needs while hiking (or doing anything), how a diagnosis of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) has changed her perspective, how we can still engage with and enjoy nature while we are “pushing” and they answer the question: “Why are you going from “plodder” to FKT? (Fastest Known Time)”
More about Christine:
Christine Reed is a long-distance backpacker and author of the memoir, Alone in Wonderland. She shares her personal journey from sedentary office worker to rugged outdoorswoman in hopes of inspiring others to see something bigger for themselves-- whatever that may be. But also to remind us that a good story is about sharing something real and unfiltered of ourselves and connecting with others. She's found in the outdoor community the first place that ever felt like home.
