On this episode of Le Run Down I had an excellent conversation with Olympian, Pro Triathlete and National Marathon Record Holder, Malindi Elmore.
She's an incredibly decorated athlete, with 3 different professional careers. But what I found most fascinating was her transition from short track to Ironman's at the pro level all while growing her young family.
Today Malindi is an elite marathoner and is ready to compete at the 2020 Toyko Olympics. 17 years after her first appearance!
