Episode Notes
In today’s episode, Rachel takes us down a rabbit hole of family running lore, including the story of her grandfather, Terry McDermott, who brought home Olympic gold and silver medals in speed skating. She also shares a much more encouraging injury update and explains why pelvic floor therapy has been helpful in her recovery journey. Meanwhile, Karen is inching ever closer to being fully healthy again, while Megan is deep in the trenches of moving.
The Chicks also break down a few fun questions: Is running a half marathon at a bachelorette party an iconic idea or a friendship-ending one? How would they survive the Taco Bell 50K Challenge? And which Hogwarts house would each type of runner belong in?
Plus: Where are the best places to do hill workouts in and around Chicago?
