Nell Rojas is a FORCE on the Boston Marathon course. The Nike pro earned top American female finisher her first two races ('21 and  '22). She loves the grit and hills of the course (the opposite of most!) When Nell isn't running, she's coaching. She's coached for years, even before she decided to go pro at 30 years old. Now, she learns a lot from her dad who coaches her and guides her in developing her own coaching style. Today we dive in to: 

• How the Boston Marathon course is perfect for her body and training style 
• The friendly competition of elites (she tells us what she says as she picks people off!) 
• What she spent her 20s focused on before going pro at 30 
• Being coached by her dad and learning his philosophies 
• Her passion for creative writing and poetry
