About this episode
Sarah goes it solo for this tribute to a race that isn’t happening on Monday: the Boston Marathon. She serves up a dozen clips from past guests, recounting their experiences at the venerable marathon, from volunteering at the expo to winning the whole dang thing! Listen to:
-Meb Keflezighi recount “the thrill of a lifetime,” winning in 2014;
-Kathrine Switzer detail her near “take-down” on the course in the then-all-male race;
-the oldest-ever female finisher tell what kept her returning every year;
-a BAMR describe the unsurpassed crowd support that propelled her to a 20-minute PR; and,
-Bethany relay her hilarious (and slightly horrifying!) birth-a-tampon story.
