Episode Notes
In today's episode, Megan recaps her dramatic drop in distance from the marathon all the way down to the mile, where she raced to a 4:37 finish and second place. She breaks down the race, reflects on the experience, and looks ahead to her upcoming half marathon.
Rachel's injury saga continues as she shares the latest frustrations in her search for answers, including MRI scheduling mishaps and countless hours spent on the phone trying to figure out her diagnosis and recovery plan.
Meanwhile, Karen received some encouraging news: her injury is a sprain rather than a bone injury. She also gives an update on her apartment hunt as she prepares to move to a new spot in Chicago.
The Chicks continue highlighting women who have achieved the Olympic Marathon Trials standard and dive into thoughts surrounding fueling for distance runners.
Plus: What is the most unhinged thing the Chicks have done in the name of running data?
