This is the Sandy Boy Productions Podcast.

Hey everybody, welcome to all have another podcast with Lindsay Heine.

I'm your host Lindsay, thank you so much for joining us today.

I am so excited to bring you a conversation with another Aussie runner, Lisa Waitman,

Lisa runs for team Australia. She has competed in the 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 Olympics.

Since competing at her fourth Olympic Games in Tokyo, she's running better than ever.

Now at the age of 44, she has set two marathon personal bests within six months in late 2022 and

early 2023. She kicked that off, running a 75 second personal best of 224 at the Berlin Marathon

in September of 2022, and then this past February in 2023, she improved that time by another 45

seconds, running 223-15 in Osaka. That moved her from the fourth to the third fastest Australian

marathon time ever, and then get this a week after Osaka. She was still in Japan and she went

to place ninth in the Tokyo Marathon in time of 231-42. So this is going to be really exciting as she is

working to make her fifth Olympic team, which if she does that, she'll be the first track-and-field

athlete to make five Olympics for team Australia. She's also running Budapest, which is exciting because

her last World Championships marathon was Berlin in 2009. Whoa, so much going on here. She does all

of this on very little sponsorship support. She works full-time for IBM. She has an eight-year-old son

and we get into all of that in this conversation. Have you all heard the news that relay, which is

the group I'm a part of that puts out podcasts and written pieces all revolving around running and

running culture and races? We have decided to go public. We are behind a paywall when we launched

last September and we decided we're going to make this thing public because we are having so much

fun and we want you all to be a part of it. So now you can go listen. You can just go to Apple

Podcasts or Spotify and listen, just search for relay. We launched this week with two episodes
