This week, Becs is flying solo as Rob is off in Paris for the final week of the Olympics. She’s joined by her partner Austin Curtis as they talk about how they met, how he transitioned from hockey to running, and the joys of raising their daughter Tallulah. Austin grew up in the Philadelphia area and played hockey as a child and into college until he turned to running as an adult. He ran his first marathon in 2015 in Philadelphia with his sister, finishing in just under five hours. After training competitively with a friend, he ran his second marathon in 2019 in New Jersey finishing in 2:57! He talks about what it took to cut two hours off his marathon time, what it’s like running with Becs (she pushes the pace!), and what’s ahead.
