Episode Notes

Sara Hall has been competing at the highest level for nearly 30 years. She was the 2000 high school national cross country champion before earning 7-time All-America honors at Stanford University.

Not only has she won 10 US National Championship titles, but she’s the only American to win national titles in both the mile and the marathon. Her incredible range is also demonstrated by her gold medal at the 2011 Pan American Games in the steeplechase, while also being the second fastest American female marathoner with a time of 2:20:32.

She was previously on the podcast when I interviewed 5 elite women on their preferred injury prevention and recovery strategies: https://strengthrunning.libsyn.com/160-5-of-the-worlds-fastest-women-on-injury-prevention-recovery

Her memoir, For the Love of the Grind, is now available!
