Ro and I chat with friend of the pod Emily Sisson a few days after her amazing second place, 2:18:29 American Record run in the marathon-only her third crack at the distance, and talk about the build up, the race, recovery from covid, and how she’s grown as an athlete with her mental approach toward high pressure situations. Emily is a long time talent-from racing internationally at Pan American and World Jr championships in XC and on the track as a young athlete to winning indoor and outdoor NCAA 5000m titles, setting the indoor NCAA 5000m record, and as a pro representing Team USA at the 2017, and 2019 world championships and the 2021 Olympics in the 10,000. She is a 5 time USA champion over road and track distances and recently set the American record in the half marathon . Emily is a super talented and focused athlete and we can’t wait to hear about this big achievement that was a long time in the making! check out the feed!Learn more about your ad choices.
