What a treat to speak with three-time Abbott World Marathon Majors age group winner, Juliet Hershey-Beatty, who achieved several new marathon PRs this year at age 50.
Juliet (Julie) shares how she changed her approach to her training, thanks to hiring a coach (Roberta Groner), which led to a massive PR at the 2026 Boston Marathon, where she ran 2:56:16 and won her division.
Julie went on to run similar times in Berlin and Chicago in 2026, where she again won her age group. This week, Julie will run the NYC Marathon, during which she intends to run with gratitude and joy.
Julie provides tips for running your best at any age and a fresh perspective on how to approach training and life.
Huge thanks to Julie for joining us!
