The Rambling Runner Podcast

“It took me five marathons to qualify for Boston, and when I did it was a time that wasn’t even fast enough for me to run it.” In this episode, Lindsey McSwain talks about how she improved from a runner who tried and failed to qualify for the Boston Marathon to running a scorching fast 3:06 marathon. Not only that, Lindsey brings her trademark humor and love if all things fun. You can learn more about Lindsey at www.instagram.com/runnerrhea.

How badass is Karen Howe? Well, she just beat fellow masters runner Meb Keflezighi in the New York City Marathon by 12 seconds in a time of 3:10:22. In doing so she finished 210th out of 22,112 women and 25th in her age group. Karen is a working mother of two and getting better as a runner every year.
