FACING VERTAuthor: Tara Jordan
Welcome to Facing Vert...both on trails and in life. So, what is vert? For all of those in the trail running community, it is short for Vertical Elevation Gain. Basically, it is climbing a mountain, and we have all faced mountains in our lives. This 'vert' may be an upcoming race, or simply getting up the courage to start training for a 5k. Or, this mountain is an obstacle, a burden, a fear that you just want to claw your way up and conquer. These are conversations you will hear about, and I hope they will inspire you to do the impossible and face the impossible with greater hope.

084: Mindset Of A Champion-Michael Ferguson
Sunday, 8 March, 2026
Michael Ferguson is a senior in high school, and was already committed to Furman University before his senior year even began. Already, as a senior, he is the state champion in 5A Cross Country, the 1600 indoor track state champion and the 3200 indoor track state champion. Pretty incredible accomplishments, and he really didn't get serious about running until high school. I loved hearing how he approaches races, controls his nerves and handles the pressure. Michael wants to be the best, but understands the work this requires. I can't wait to see him continue to grow and improve at Furman! Thank you, Michael, for taking the time to sit down with me.
