Paris Olympic Build: Halfway There (Episode 8)

Halfway to the start line of the 2024 Paris Olympic Marathon! 8 weeks in, 8 weeks to go. I ran my third fatigued mile repeat session of the build, and it was my fastest session yet. I'm feeling grateful for my PT, Scott McKeel, who helped me work through some lower back and glute issues. In this episode you get a little peek into my siblings and their families on a camping trip. I drove up between my runs to spend some quality time. Gotta love a good s’more. In October 2023, I ran 2:08:00 at the Chicago marathon. Then, at the US Olympic Trials marathon in February 2024, I placed second and qualified for Team USA. I will be racing the Olympic marathon at the Olympic games this summer in Paris. Join me during this training block as I prepare mentally and physically to compete on the biggest stage.
