On this episode of the Training for the Trials series Lauren and Abby speak with Taylor Ward. Taylor is a 2:30 marathoner who manages to train in the midst of her busy schedule as a professor + PhD student. In this episode we talk all about Taylor's training for the Olympic Trials, her job and passions outside of running, how she makes her morning pancakes and much more. It was so great speaking with Taylor and we can't wait to see her crush it in Atlanta on Saturday. You can track Taylor during the Trials here (https://rtrt.me/atlanta2020trials/track/RJ2Z57UF).
