Listen "Lauren Young: Friend, Avid Marathon Runner and Former Teammate shares her Tokyo Marathon Experience!"

Episode Synopsis

Real life running stories are what you'll find in this episode's content. Lauren and I first met in high school @goturpin in Cincinnati, OH #eastside. While our running experiences evolved quite differently, one thing is certain: our love for the sport hasn't changed a bit. Under the tutelage of @missydmarie we created successful high school athletic careers that served as a catalyst for our respective collegiate careers at @bayloruniversity @baylorathletics @baylortrack and @georgiatech @gt_tracknfield @gtsprtnutrition. Lauren and I dabble in sports nutrition talk, college athletic recruiting and the meat and potatoes of today's discussion revolves around her @tokyomarathonfoundation! Running a personal best by 14 minutes, Lauren shares some highlights of her Tokyo adventure, race day do's and don'ts and overall recommendations for those looking to take their running to the next level @neelysgracey.

Resources cited: collegiate and professional sports dietitians association @cpsda, gatorade sport science institute @gatorade and international society of sports nutrition @the_issn and Lauren highly recommends @runningexplained!

happy listening and cheers!
