12: Running Really, Really Far with Rachel Ahlmark

Welcome to Episode 12, featuring a special race-day debrief with marathon debutant Rachel Ahlmark! Rachel comes from a background as a collegiate D3 short- and middle-distance runner, but after a few half marathons, she boldly (or foolishly?) decided to take on the full marathon.

This past Saturday, host Brian and Rachel crossed the finish line at the Rhode Races Newport Marathon, wrapping up a long winter of training in Boston. In this debrief, Francis sits down with Brian and Rachel to unpack their first marathon experiences. We discuss training challenges, the highs, the lows, race strategies, lessons learned, and dreams of future races.

--------------------

This Monday, there was a small local race in the Boston area ~ we want to congratulate all of the finishers of the 2025 Boston Marathon including former guests Cate Shultz, Nora Johnson, Haley Medeiros, and U.P. Nguyen!!
