From professional athletes and celebrity runners to the everyday amateur and back of the pack runner, we are here to celebrate everyone and anyone who enjoys a life on the run. So whether you're running towards something big or away from something that's been holding you back, I'm here to hold your hand and help you pick up the pace. Today's guest is American record-holder in the marathon, two-time Olympian, New Balance athlete, Emily Sisson. Emily, who's coached by Ray Tracey, is gearing up to make her Boston Marathon debut in just a few weeks. In this episode, she talks about how training is going, she reflects on her sixth place finish at last month's New York City Half Marathon, and she talks about why she wanted more from her 2:25 at the New York City Marathon in the fall. Emily talks about training on the Boston course, on traveling between her new home in Ireland and training in Arizona, and about how much her outlook on training and racing have changed over the past few years. Please join me in welcoming the fastest American woman in this year's Boston Marathon pro field, Emily Sisson.
