Show Notes
Nell Rojas has been the top American at the last two Boston marathoners and is set to line up there again in 3 weeks. Her path to the front of elite marathoning has not been a direct one, however, and we talk about that winding path in this conversation.
In particular, her journey includes becoming a coach for the every-day athlete well before she was chasing podiums at Boston and NYC.
In this conversation, we talk about her background but then dive into her coaching philosophy, including what it takes to perform well in the marathon and especially Boston. Listen all the way to the end because her thoughts on mental prep for Boston are absolute gold!
