Hi, I'm Olympian Carrie Tullifson and welcome to the C-Tolly Run podcast.

This week on the show, I interview Savannah Berry.

Sav is a 229 marathoner, runs for A6, is a two-time Olympic trials qualifier in the marathon.

She's currently training for the New York City Marathon while she works as a mentor advisor at her own college where she went at Utah Valley University. When she was at UVU, she was a Western Athletic Conference champ in the 10K, the 5K, the 3K, she did that indoors and outdoors, and she qualified for the NCAAs. She had a phenomenal collegiate career. In this episode, we hear all about that,

but we also hear about how she's been having a great last couple of years. She talks about her

12th place finish at the Olympic trials for the marathon last February, her joy of running,

working with students

now again at Utah Valley University, placing third at the USATF 20K national championships on Labor Day,

her ups and downs in the sport, and putting the work in. She also talks about running with her partner,

finding the marathon, and so much more. We had a lot of fun on this episode, and I hope you have fun listening to us as well.

So let's get after it.

Hi, Sam, I am so excited to have you on the show.

I'm excited to be here, and I appreciate the opportunity.

Yeah, can I just say to all of my listeners

that have followed or listened to us since 2016 on the podcast, we have finally switched platforms.

And, Sab, you've been my guinea pig. Can I say that for the last week? Oh, no, that's awesome.

I'm happy to be a part of something new and help you change it up a little bit. I am so excited to have you. This is so fun that you are able to chat with me and kind of share your story because it's been really cool to watch how well you've been running the last few years. Oh, I appreciate that. Yeah, it's been a lot of time and effort spent into training. So it's really

good to start seeing some results that, you know, is getting some attention. Yeah, I'd say. So let's

just start quick with your last race, which was amazing. It was USATF 20K, where you first time running

that and then you make the podium. You were third.

Yeah, I was very shocked by it. Honestly, my goal is just top 10. I ran with some of those women before so I know how talented and amazing they all are.

So I really wanted to put myself in it because, you know, we have some big, I have some big races coming up and some big goals coming up. And so I wanted to be able to give myself the opportunity to see how it stack up and see where
