In this episode, Caryn introduces us to her friend and running coach, elite runner Heather Pech. After a very successful business career, including stints as CEO of Polo Jeans and Nine West, Heather has found great success as a masters runner, winning her age group in the 2017 and 2018 Boston Marathons, including setting a personal record despite the horrible conditions at Boston in April.
