Deena Kastor joins Ben Kelleher from Mammoth Lakes, California. They discuss how Deena held the US Women's Marathon Record for 16 years, as well as the many US records still to her name today. As well as this they get into her experiences in winning the London & Chicago Marathon's and how she earned a hard-fought bronze medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Plus, they delve into so much more, including what 'Joy Training' is, Deena's New York Times Best-Selling book Let Your Mind Run, her work with the Abbott World Marathon Majors, and what her future goals are - including the upcoming New York City Marathon with her Marathon Talk co-host Martin Yelling, as well as challenging Ben to the Sydney Marathon!
