Lisa Weightman is a four time Olympian for Team Australia in the Marathon. Lisa recently raced the Osaka Marathon 2024, placing on the podium with a 2:24:43. In this interview, we talk about her race, the ASICS Metaspeed Prototype that she raced in, and the implications of this race on the changes of making a 5th Australian Olympic team.
We also go over her day job (she's an associate partner at IBM), her Chicago connection, and my favorite Australian TV shows.

Interview date: February 28, 2024 (although with the time zones, this was February 29, 2024 for Lisa)
