ESPN 30 for 30 Podcasts Debuts ''Girl v. Horse'' Podcast

''Girl v. Horse''

ESPN 30 for 30 Podcasts announces the debut of its new four-episode podcast series "Girl v. Horse." Premiering Tuesday, the series chronicles Arab-American long-distance runner Nicole Teeny's epilepsy diagnosis and how she finds herself where many athletes have been before: at the top of her game, but staring down a huge athletic setback. In an effort to prove that she is in control of a body she seems to have lost connection to, she sets the biggest goal she can think of: to race a horse in a 50-mile ultramarathon.

Throughout the series, Teeny documents her several years-long journey coming to terms with her epilepsy diagnosis while struggling to find the right medication, falling in love with her now wife, and training for her first ultramarathon... against a horse. Along the way, she explores what drove humans to become runners -- and what horses have to do with it -- all while documenting the notable human vs. horse races throughout history and settling the battle between mind versus body and girl versus horse.

"Through Girl v. Horse, I wanted to tell a story that went beyond just a competition, but explored the connection between our mind and bodies, and how we navigate setbacks," said host and producer Teeny. "After being diagnosed with epilepsy, running helped me reclaim my body in a way I didn't imagine. Racing against a horse was my ultimate test of strength and endurance-both physically and mentally. I hope this podcast resonates with anyone facing their own hurdles."
