GOING FOR IT: Becs Gentry On Working With NBC & Running A Once-In-A-Lifetime Marathon


Listen Later

You know her, you love her, please welcome Becs Gentry to our GOING FOR IT series. In today's episode we talk about her big opportunity with NBC in Paris, how TV broadcast is different than her work at Peloton, and what she’s most excited about at the Games. We also chat about how she feels toeing the line again for another 26.2 miles for the Marathon Pour Tous and her new, powerful running mantra. I absolutely loved getting Becs back in the studio and can’t want to see her do big things in Paris.
