Episode Notes

Olympic marathon medalist Molly Seidel joins host Buzz Burrell for a candid conversation about pressure, injury, and her shift into trail and ultra running. Molly unpacks her decision to drop out of the New York City Marathon, the long rebuild after breaking her kneecap, and why the trails feel like the right competitive home for the next phase of her career.

 She talks openly about identity, the culture of pain in endurance sports, and the growing doping problem in road running, along with why she's aiming squarely at a Golden Ticket at Black Canyon. Honest, sharp, and unexpectedly funny, this episode offers a rare look at an elite athlete redefining her path.
