325. Self-Belief Is The Way: Dakotah Popehn Talks About Her New York City Marathon Journey, The Olympics & What She's Looking Forward To Next
Firstly: Dakotah Lindwurm is now Dakotah Popehn after getting married last weekend! Welcoming her back to the show to talk about Dakotah’s Olympic experience and all that went into her impressive race before diving into the early days of her running career, how her Olympic dream came to be, and what it’s been like since her "running glow up."
Dakotah talks about leaving her career as a paralegal to go all in as a pro runner and how she’s been able to focus on her body in all aspects to both prepare for big race days and recover quicker than ever. Dakotah’s sense of self belief is so inspiring and we talk about her why0not-me perspective and the tools and tricks she uses when that self doubt creeps in.
