Summary

Welcome Sally McRae AKA Yellow Runner to Hurdle! This conversation is truly very, very special. Sally's journey is one that's been filled with #hurdlemoments, from growing up in an emotionally and physically abusive household and losing her mom to cancer to working multiple jobs. We have an important conversation about boundaries and navigating negative body image. Plus, her proudest career accomplishments (which may not be what you expect) and what it's been like for her coming into sport as a professional later in life. Also, what she'd change about her win at Badwater 135, what she's excited about going forward — including her upcoming memoir.
