171. Molly Seidel, 2020 Olympic Medalist in the Marathon

Show: Hurdle

I STILL HAVE CHILLS. It was a no-brainer for me to bring my 2020 conversation with Molly Seidel back to the feed today, mostly because WOW listening to this interview now gives me so many feels. This was originally episode 100 of the show, and the last episode I recorded with a guest before the pandemic. Molly earned the third-ever medal in the Olympic marathon for an American woman over the weekend in an unbelievable performance of grit, showcasing so much hard work. Fun facts: It was the third-ever full marathon for the Notre Dame graduate, and she qualified for the Olympics in her first-ever marathon back at the 2020 Olympic Trials. In episode 171, she tells me all about the hurdles she faced to get here (and there were many). From detailing her battles with obsessive compulsive disorder and injury to seeking treatment for disordered eating —Molly's perspective is both special and enlightening. So many takeaways here, and certainly a few tears —too. So excited for you, Molly. Thanks for being a part of the Hurdle community.
