#153 Laura Pierce Mar 28, 2019

Show notes

Laura Pierce is back and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Laura just smashed her long-standing goal of breaking 90 minutes in the half marathon and was willing to discuss every aspect of the preceding 16 months that led to this performance. Laura transitioned from a burnt out runner in need of recovery to an athlete who is no longer beholden to positive workouts and races in order to appreciate the sport the loves. Along the way she started working with a therapist who helped her manage the anxiety that held her back in the past. We also discussed the benefits of leaving the typical spring marathon training cycle and opting to make the half marathon her “A” race. Laura talks about all of this, and more, with her fabulous humor and insight. You can learn more about Laura at www.instagram.com/nebraskarunner. Learn more about your ad choices.
