We are joined by 2x Olympian Kara Goucher (@karagoucher) who has been involved in the sport since she was 6 years old and went from that first race with her Grandpa to a professional runner and now broadcaster for NBC. We discuss her career, how to help female runners struggling with the pressure to look a certain way to be faster, battling past negative thoughts and injuries to keep your drive, and making sure you maintain your true love and reasoning for running, not because you're running for somebody else. We also discuss her son's newfound love for the sport and her involvement with the Clean Sports Collective podcast, in the fight against doping in track and field and more!
