In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Jess Mayon for an honest conversation about what it means to be a runner through every season of life. We talk about her journey from a first half marathon to qualifying for Boston, running Chicago, CIM, and a virtual Boston Marathon, balancing marathon training with a demanding career, recovering from burnout, and how running changes in your 40s.
Whether you’re chasing a PR, navigating perimenopause, or simply trying to fit running into a busy life, this episode is a reminder that your goals can evolve—and that’s not a setback, it’s growth.
We also share plenty of stories from races we’ve run together (including Grandma’s Marathon), discuss why strength training and recovery matter more than ever, and answer the question: Is it ever too late to chase a big goal?
Because the runner you become can be even stronger than the runner you used to be.
