771. Sara Hall's 2024 in Review

"I felt really relieved and happy and proud, and just so thankful that I took a chance on myself and chose to keep believing in myself."

Sara Hall just ran her fourth — and fastest — marathon of 2024. At the Valencia Marathon, Sara ran 2:23:45, smashing her own American Masters Marathon Record by three minutes, and finishing tenth overall. From the Marathon Trials to Boston to Chicago to Valencia, today Sara returns to the Ali on the Run Show for a year-end reflective. Plus, what Sara's excited about in 2025.
