Summary

Kate Murphy joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast for her first interview since announcing her decision to medically retire from the sport at 19 years old. She is currently a student at the University of Oregon. Before arriving in Eugene, she was one of the most accomplished high school runners in recent years. She attended Lake Braddock High School in Virginia and was a four-time state champion. She competed at the World Junior Championships for the U.S. She ran 9:10.51 in the 3K, which is up there on the all-time high school lists. Despite all that success, she never got to race in an Oregon singlet after being diagnosed and treated with popliteal artery entrapment syndrome and undergoing two procedures on her legs. We discuss what went into that decision, how she's doing now, the pressures of being so fast while so young, plus advice for Katelyn Tuohy (who is currently one of the top high school stars in the country) ----- The CITIUS MAG Podcast is brought to you by Strava. Personally, I believe Strava is the best app for runners and cyclists to keep track of all their training. It helps keep me accountable as I get ready for the 2019 Tokyo Marathon in March. I've been using Strava Summit, which includes extra features with their training an analysis packs. Right now, CITIUS MAG Podcast listeners have a chance to try those Summit features for free. Go to www.strava.com/summit and enter the code citius (all lowercase) at checkout.
