I have been wanting to highlight women running coaches through conversations for a while now, so here we go! This is the first of what will be a series of conversations I have every month or so, highlighting women who are guiding athletes in this sport. And to kick things off, what better place to start than my own coach, Molly Huddle. 

Molly is well known as the legendary distance runner who’s set numerous American records and has been an Olympian, twice. Her list of accolades as a competitive runner is very long, spanning a professional career of two decades. 

Molly is also well known for her work outside of competing, which focuses on women in sport, and in particular moms and pregnancy. Molly is the coauthor with Sara Slattery of the book How She Did It, and as you’ll hear in this episode, Molly is currently writing another book with Slattery and Alysia Montaño about running through pregnancy, tentatively titled Running through Motherhood. Molly is also the cohost with Montaño and Roisin McGettigan of the podcast Keeping Track. And, she’s mom to two young children. 

In this conversation, I catch up with Molly and hear about her experiences and insights as a coach.
