113: Chicago 2025 and Finding Family with Team to End AIDS w/ Annie Rasmussen

113: Chicago 2025 and Finding Family with Team to End AIDS w/ Annie Rasmussen

Annie thought about running a marathon for nearly ten years before finally lining up at the Chicago Marathon in 2025. After withdrawing from the race the year before due to injury, she rebuilt from the ground up, committed to strength training, and found something even bigger than a finish time through Team to End AIDS. What started as a comeback became a summer of long runs on the lakefront, new friendships, and learning how to run smart instead of just hard.

In this episode, Annie shares how Peloton helped her actually learn the fundamentals of running, what it looked like to navigate injury and depression, and how she executed a negative split on her first marathon by trusting her training. We talk race day nerves, hometown crowds, chocolate chip bagels with peanut butter, and why treating your training like rehearsal might be the mindset shift every runner needs.
