Episode 333: Jenny Simpson – 3x Olympian & medalist heads to the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler

Jenny Simpson returns to the podcast today after recently announcing that she is going to be racing the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler. This is a huge shift in what she normally does. She usually focuses on the 1500m and she is a 3-time Olympian. She won a Bronze medal in the 2016 Rio Olympics and she has both a Gold and Silver medal from the World Championships. She was first on the show in June of 2019 on episode 188 . In that episode she shares all about her running career and it is a great introduction to Jenny! In this episode, we talk about social media, her experience at the Olympic Trials this summer, her decision to transition to race the 10 miler, and so much more! The UA All Out Mile is a fun way to test your fitness and see what you can run for a mile! The training starts in September and you can run your all out mile anytime between October 1st- October 11th. And it’s completely free! It’s going to be a lot of fun & make sure to join my team – I’ll Have Another.
