Molly Seidel on Pulling Out of New York & the Mindset That Changed Her Career

Olympic bronze medalist Molly Seidel sits down with Coach Ben to share her journey from high-school prodigy to making marathon history in Tokyo.


Molly opens up about her courageous decision to withdraw from the NYC Marathon, what it truly takes to compete at the highest level, and the lessons that have shaped her career - including the hardest one: knowing when to stop.


In this raw and honest conversation, she reflects on rebuilding after setbacks, balancing passion with pressure, and why she keeps coming back to running - despite injuries, self-doubt, and constant challenges.


When Molly became the first American woman in 17 years to medal in the Olympic marathon, it was the culmination of years battling adversity and rediscovering joy on her own terms.


What You'll Learn:

🧠 How a growth mindset transformed her career

💪 Good pain vs bad pain - how do you know which is which?

🥇 Inside her Tokyo Olympic bronze medal race

🌄 Why she's shifting to trail ultras

❤️ Balancing ambition with self-care

😴 The recovery secret every runner forgets


Whether you’re chasing a new personal best or rekindling your love for running, Molly’s insights from her time as an elite athlete offer a refreshing perspective you won’t want to miss.


🎧 New episodes every Friday with Olympic legends, elite runners, and expert coaching advice.
