Not to worry, in today's episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with someone who knows a thing about marathons and finishing up law school, Attorney Vivian Vassall! 

Vivan is the assistant attorney general AND a multiple marathon runner. When she is not training for a triathlon, Vivan also coaches runners like cohost, @onnamission, and many others to achieve their goals. Tune in to get the LEGIT-stics on how to approach law school and the legal field as a marathon.
