Beth’s story is a masterclass in mindset, smart training, and why strength work is non-negotiable for women 45+. You’ll hear how Beth: - Shifted identity from “I’m not an athlete” to “I am a runner.” - Came back from a femur stress fracture by slowing down, training smart, and building strength. - Cracked a sub 2 hour half marathon (and a 52-minute 10K) with balanced training. Learned key marathon lessons on pacing, hydration, gut management, and travel—and how she’s applying them for Athens.
