Summary

Today on the podcast, we're talking with Emma Coburn on the incredible success she's had over the last few years.

For nearly a decade, Emma Coburn has been a force to be reckoned with in the 3,000m steeplechase - a notoriously difficult race that requires strength, coordination, and an unwavering focus.

In this conversation, we're discovering how Emma has engineered such a tremendous career over a long period of time. Emma and I talk about:

What she's doing right now to maintain her momentum now that the 2020 Olympics have been postponed
The training staples that are consistently present in her training
Advice for runners who've had their spring races cancelled
The elements of her training that have changed over time
Her advice for high school girls transitioning to college track and cross country
When she knows its time to move out of her comfort zone
