Summary
“Track is such a different world. Marathoners are so hyper-focused. If I go to the Boston Marathon, I really can’t go many places, because a lot of people will recognize me. But something like track, I get to be like any other track fan out here. I’ll get noticed every once in a while, but for the most part, people are here to watch Sha’Carri.”
Molly Seidel, Olympic bronze medalist in the marathon, joins the show to share about her experience in the marathon world compared to the track and field world, how she’s working with PUMA on improving their shoe technology, her predictions for the Trials, and lots of banter, of course. Hear more from Molly Seidel in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.
