This week Rob is joined by Sara Vaughn, the top American woman finisher at this year's TCS New York City Marathon where she delivered an impressive performance with a time of 2:26:56. She was a late addition to the race after being sidelined by Covid in the lead up to the Chicago Marathon. Sara transitioned from being a middle-distance runner to the marathon and won the 2021 California International Marathon in her marathon debut. She’s crushing it while balancing life as a mother of four and a full-time real estate agent in Boulder, Colorado. Tune in to hear her race-day strategy and how she was able to stay with the lead pack even while not looking at her watch. Also joining the podcast is NYRR member Maryann Gong, the top woman finisher from the Central Park Track Club and a 15-time NCAA Division III All-American runner.
