Episode 81: Holly Clarke Returns and Breaks Through With Purpose
Manage episode 318037464 series 3247601
Holly Clarke of the Impala RacingTeam returns to talk about what she’s been up to since we last spoke to her in August of 2020. We recorded this episode before the USATF announced the new Olympic Trials Qualifying standard and before Holly ran CIM and (spoiler alert), saw that 2:37 and said, “hold my Negroni” and ran a 2:36:52. Holly is always a delight to talk to and we loved having her back on!
Some highlights from our conversation:
🏔 How her first “ultra” went (and whether or not she considers it an ultra)
🎽 Deciding to make a shift in her coaching and training situation
👯 Training with her best friends who are also often her toughest competitors
💖 Focusing on the process rather than the outcome
⏳ Balancing training with big life changes
💉 Why race organizers should offer boosters at the end of a race
💩 What you should yell at her while cheering for her in a race
