Summary
It was amazing to watch Emily Sisson, a pro runner for New Balance, crush the 10K at the Olympic trials and make her way to the 2020 Olympics.

In today's installment of #HURDLEMOMENT, her and I chat all about it — unpacking how we've struggled with injury over 2021. She gives her tips on how to navigate the emotional struggle that goes hand-in-hand with the physical, the importance of having a stellar support squad, and the necessary perspective shift that helped her get through the toughest days. Plus: What's next!
