This week Becs talks to Olympian Dakotah Lindwurm, who ran an amazing 26.2 miles on the hardest marathon course in Olympic history, and her fiancé Montana Popehn, who surprised her by turning the finish line into the starting point of the rest of their lives together. Tune in to hear about Dakotah’s Olympic experience from chanting “USA!" on the boat during the Opening Ceremony to tossing her hat to a fan along the marathon course. She’s excited to come back to New York to race this year’s TCS New York City Marathon and looks forward to it being the cherry on top of an already amazing year. Montana will be in NYC supporting her and says the biggest thing he can do for her is to be a calming presence as she preps for the race. Plus, Rob shares the pro field announcement for the TCS New York City Marathon and reveals his own marathon goals for this fall.
