"Sometimes you have to listen that there's no fire within."

I sat down to chat with Sarah while she was in Boston to get some practice on the course on a mid January weekend. We shared the magic of the Newton Hills, full of runners and volunteers handing out water, and it stoked the fire for Sarah's upcoming training cycle. We talked about motivation, taking time off, and how to keep that fire lit.

Allie Kieffer is a professional runner for Oiselle and Asics, We talked about how she got into the sport, how she briefly got out of it and then back in again. Allie shared her passion for body positivity, and we talked about trends in social media and the requirements of being an athlete in today's day and age, and much more.
