Tavyn's Bio:

After Tavyn Lovitt ran for the University of Mississippi, she discovered that she was much stronger as a long distance runner. In the past few years, she coached herself to an Olympic Trials qualifying time at the Los Angeles Marathon in 2019.

Tavyn currently resides in San Jose, CA where she loves to run with her Dalmatian, Louie, who never seems to get tired. She makes running a staple of her day as a form of meditation, an opportunity to enjoy nature, and an appreciation for moving her body! Her favorite post-race meals are chips and salsa or really spicy Pad Thai and her favorite band to run to it Matt and Kim. 

In this episode, we discuss Tavyn's collegiate running experience, how she got into coaching, lessons she's learned along the way, and the process of self-coaching her way to an Olympic Qualifying Trial time in 2019.
