#573 - Bridget Chamberlin: Evolution From a 6:30 Marathon to a BQ

from The Rambling Runner Podcast · host Matt Chittim

When Bridget Chamberlin ran her first two marathons in her early 20's she was confident that there were two types of runners: The fast runners (which included her college running friends) and slower runners (like her). She was happy and content with that segmentation and loved running for what it was and how it made her feel. However, over the next decade her ability and preconceived notions of what was possible started to change. Her marathon times, her race of choice, started to get faster and faster. From 6:30, to a 5:30, then into the high 4:00's, and finally into the 4:10 range. With that progression came a concurrent increase in her love for the sport, training, and the formerly dreaded speedwork. Then, two years ago, after becoming a mom of two and battling injuries, Bridget decided to go for it! In this episode Bridget details the entire journey and shows us all what is possible.
