#2 Corinne Shalvoy | Getting Faster with age, Making time for yourself, and a family history with the Hardrock 100
In this episode, Troy Meadows sits down with Corinne Shalvoy to talk all things trail running. Corinne is a mother, a wife, and a very fast lady running on team Aravaipa. From running her first Marathon with her husband in over 5 hours many years ago to running sub 3 hours, taking 1st place, and setting a massive PR at the Tucson Marathon last year, Corinne is an amazing ambassador for the community. We also discuss a lot about her family history with trail running and ultra running, including her uncle Rick Trulio his founding of the Imogene Pass Run and The HardRock 100 and how she keeps coming back to the race to pace and volunteer and what it means to be a member of the long-standing colorado ultra community. We touch on raising two young boys with her husband, who is also an ultrarunner, and how they balance their running and family life. We also dive deep into why it is essential to make time for yourself so you can show up as the best version of yourself in the other aspects of your life. Last year Corinne toed the line at CCC and finished 25th and 8th American, topping off a fantastic season and showing herself just how far she has come. We also discuss dealing with and recovering from a recent knee injury and how it is important to have patience and give yourself grace in the healing process. As 40-year-old athletes, we also discuss why physical therapy and strength training are so necessary as we age. Corinne is also a founding member of the Freetrail Fems, the female running group within the Freetrail community, and how important it is to provide a safe space to explore women-specific topics in trail running.
