549. Sara Hall, Team USA Marathoner

"When you think about what you hope to leave on the sport or model for my daughters through the sport, I hope that's what people see: resiliency, and how to pick yourself up, and not let discouragement get you down."

First we heard from Keira D'Amato. Then Emma Bates. And now, we complete the World Athletics Championships Team USA women's marathon trifecta on the Ali on the Run Show with fifth-place finisher Sara Hall. Not only did Sara — a 39-year-old mom of four — run a season's best time of 2:22:10 that day in Eugene, she also says it was the most fun she's ever had running a marathon. In this conversation, Sara recaps her entire World Championships experience.
