Steph Davis: from Finance to the 2020 Olympics - Unveiling What It Takes to Be an Olympic Marathon Runner


Listen Later

On this episode of The Runna Podcast, we interview professional runner Steph Davis, who qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Steph shares her inspiring journey, from getting into running by accident in school to becoming an elite marathon runner and Olympian.


Some exciting teasers from the podcast:

  •  Steph describes the thrilling moment she found out she qualified for the Olympics after running a blistering 2:27 marathon.
  • She gives a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like competing at the Tokyo Olympics during Covid, including strict lockdowns and having to train mainly on a bike due to injury.
  • Steph hilariously recounts the embarrassing story of breaking down in tears after winning a big half marathon because she didn't hit her time goal.
  • We ask Steph silly hypothetical questions like whether she'd rather run a marathon in high heels or a 100k ultra barefoot (her choice may surprise you!).
  • Steph shares how she went from working in finance to becoming a professional runner sponsored by Adidas and working for Runna.
