Reposted from @iamwithoutlimits EPISODE 5 – JOURNEY TO THE OLYMPIC TRIALS FOR 3 AMATEUR RUNNERS Coach Tom Clifford interviews Brittany Perkins, Erin Hogston, and Peyton Thomas on their journey to the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials. Also including special guest and training partner Bridget Phillips. Bridget decided to train with these girls so she could try to break 3 hours at age 44. The podcast is more about the journey of how qualifying for the trials unfolded for each of them, their advice to you, how Bridget began as a 4:03 marathoner and overcame many mental hurdles to get under 3 including stepping way out of her comfort zone to train with Brittany, Erin and Peyton. If you want to be inspired, and meet 4 amazing women who are driven, set goals, and never gave up, this is a great listen!

Today Michael Friant was going for his first 13.1, but had to call it a day around the 11 mile mark..the effort he was putting forth for a man fighting Cerebral Palsy still earned him his medal. It got hot. Great job Michael! The distance will be accomplished soon enough on race day. #ilmmarathonmadness #wilmington #wilmingtonmarathon #cerebralpalsy #fighter #runninggoals #runchat
