Our guest this week is Meaghan Holmes, who just made her marathon debut with a very solid BQ time after always having said she was never going to run a marathon. We talked about how she got started running, what changed her mind about the marathon, and what her running goals are for the future. We also talked about this week in running history, the recent BQ standards changing, downhill marathons, and the recent news from Almaz Ayana. We also chatted with some picks for Chicago and answered some listener questions!
