699. Sara Hall's 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials Recap

699. Sara Hall's 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials Recap

"This was the happy ending to it all, to all the struggle. But that's life, right? It wasn't how the story ended. But believing it was kept me in it."

Sara Hall just competed at her eighth Olympic Trials event. She went all-in for this one, hoping to make her first Olympic team. At the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials Marathon in Orlando, FL, Sara ultimately finished fifth — two spots short of earning a spot on Team USA. Her 2:26:06 finish broke the American Masters Marathon Record, and as she processes what it all means for her and her journey, Sara shares in this episode that there's so much to be proud of and grateful for. (And, after her eighth Trials, it's fitting that this is Sara's eighth appearance on the Ali on the Run Show!)
