She Was Reborn on the Arizona Trail—Now Georgia Porter Faces Cocodona | Flagstaff Bound Ep. 14

Описание: Welcome to Flagstaff Bound, a special series from the Distance to Empty Podcast, hosted by 3-time Cocodona finisher Kevin Goldberg and 1-time Cocodona finisher Peter Noyes. This series explores the journeys, training, and motivations of runners gearing up for the 2025 Cocodona 250, offering a deep dive into the world of endurance trail running.

In this episode of Flagstaff Bound, we sit down with Georgia Porter, a mountain athlete whose 800-mile journey on the Arizona Trail changed everything.

Georgia opens up about how the solitude, struggle, and scale of the Arizona Trail stripped her down and built her back up—giving her a new lens through which she now approaches her biggest challenge yet: the Cocodona 250.

She shares her thoughts on suffering, sleep deprivation, and why the adventure of 250 miles reminds her of Lord of the Rings—not just because of the highs, but because of the emotional depth that comes with enduring the lows. With reverence for the distance and no illusions about what’s ahead, Georgia steps to the start line transformed.
