Thank you!</p><p><br></p><p>She came to Cocodona 2024 burnt out on running, couldn&#39;t run in the two months leading up to the race, cross-trained her way to the start line, showed up with zero expectations, and finished on the podium. Then she signed up for the entire Triple Crown — Tahoe, Bigfoot, and Moab — and broke the women&#39;s record by 29 hours. She is back for Cocodona 2026, and for the first time she gets to actually arrive before the race starts.</p><p>In this episode of Flagstaff Bound, Kevin and Peter sit down with Manuela Vilaseca — yoga teacher, Brazilian, Barcelona-based, and somehow one of the most decorated 200-mile runners in the world despite training on 20-kilometer runs and flying across three time zones to get to her races. Manu talks about what changed in her relationship with running — from obligation to opportunity — and what it feels like to come back to a race knowing you did it right the first time and still having plenty left to find. She talks about the sleep experiments she ran throughout the Triple Crown, what she&#39;s correcting this year, and why arriving a full week early feels like a genuine luxury.</p><p>She also has absolutely no confidence in her basketball game.</p><p>Cocodona 250 kicks off Monday, May 4th at 5 AM Pacific.
