Episode 117: Olympic Trials Qualifier and Coach, Karen Dunn, Shares How She Is Faster As a Master

We so enjoyed talking with Karen Dunn, who qualified for the Olympic Trials at 43 years old, just five years after running her very first marathon in 2017. We loved hearing Karen's story, including running as an elite in Boston 2018--and who she sat on the bus with on the way to Hopkinton--reaching her ultimate goal, a 2:43 marathon at Chicago, and running the Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta in 2020, how the book, Elite Minds by Stan Beecham, changed her entire approach to her running, and why she believes, as a coach and athlete, that above all else, we must believe in ourselves when pursuing our goals.
