Lauren Hagans - Conquering Uncharted Territory; Breaking the Tape in her Debut Marathon! | RunChats Ep.116
from RunChats with @RonRunsNYC · host Ron Romano
Meet Lauren Hagans, the 2024 Grandma's Marathon Champion, who made a sensational marathon debut, scorching a 2:25:55—running the fourth-fastest U.S. debut of all time! Though Lauren has coached many marathoners—and is surrounded by strong, NAZ Elite rockstar marathoning teammates who shared helpful nuggets—this was truly uncharted territory. "You never get to a starting line by yourself! Little pieces of magic were shared with me at moments of doubt along the way to my first marathon. They helped me develop trust." We discussed: -Her build—Lauren was concerned about pushing her mileage too high due to past injuries, so her coaches built her a plan that played to her strengths -Mentors/coaches who've had an impact—Todd Harbour at Baylor, Ben Rosario, Jenna Wrieden -Her most meaningful races—1:09:46 4th-place finish debut at the USATF Half Marathon Championships -Her perfectly executed Grandma's race plan and how awesome it was to share the joy with her coach Jenna at the finish line. -Her "stay in the fight" moment -And what’s next Lauren has competed in 3 Olympic Trials on the track and is stoked to compete in the marathon trials in February. She is hoping to rock a fast half at Valencia before then. I'm looking forward to following more of her inspiring journey! If you enjoy the episode, it would mean the world to me if you would rate the podcast or write a review and share feedback wherever you get your podcast groove on.
