This episode on Finish Line Moments, Gretchen sits down with Makenna Myler, an ASICS-sponsored professional runner, mom of two, and one of the top marathoners in the United States. Her journey is both powerful and deeply relatable. From her first spark on a middle school dirt track, to competing at BYU, to navigating the realities of pregnancy and motherhood while still chasing elite performances, Makenna has built a career grounded in resilience, curiosity, and joy. And her coaches and sponsors along the way have supported and enhanced all she brings to the track and beyond.In this conversation, we explore what it really means to listen to your body. Makenna shares how to set up signals with your body so that you can actually hear what it needs, instead of guessing or pushing blindly. We talk about where motivation comes from, the joy of realizing we get to run rather than have to run, and how curiosity can open doors to new levels of performance and growth.
