Interview

  • Favourite race type and why?

    The mile. Growing up, my grandpa always marveled at how the sub-4-minute mile was an incredible human feat. He’d shared stories of the spectacle and his friendship with Roger Bannister, the first sub-4-minute miler. Weirdly enough, I’ve gone on to marry a sub-4-minute miler and grown to realize how crazy fast it is. The mile is the magic blend of speed and endurance.

  • Favourite post-workout treat or go-to place?

    Freshly baked Shalane Flanagan superhero muffins, but there’s nothing quite like some salty chips on the drive home.
