84. Mastering the Marathon

A year ago, Steph ran her first half marathon and crushed it. Five months later, she ran her first full marathon and spent seven miles puking her way to the finish line. In this episode, we cover what went wrong the first time, how she retrained, and whether she hit her goal on her second attempt — a birthday marathon in Sacramento, complete with custom rap jingles and live race-day updates.
