This week, Shona Hendricks & Nikki Friedman chat with Beth Groh, a Coach Parry community member who started running in her late 50s, broke 2 hours for the half marathon at 62, snagged age-group wins, and is now eyeing the Athens Original Marathon. Beth’s story is a masterclass in mindset, smart training, and why strength work is non-negotiable for women 45+.

You’ll hear how Beth:
- Shifted identity from “I’m not an athlete” to “I am a runner.”
- Came back from a femur stress fracture by slowing down, training smart, and building strength.
- Cracked a sub 2 hour half marathon (and a 52-minute 10K) with balanced training.

Learned key marathon lessons on pacing, hydration, gut management, and travel—and how she’s applying them for Athens.
