[ATHLETE] Sub 4:00 Marathon Club, 30+ Minute PR, Learning to Fuel & How She Did It w/ Courtney
In this episode, Michaela sits down with her bestie and now athlete, Courtney, to unpack a wild ride to Grandma’s Marathon 2025 where Courtney went from a 7 day a week treadmill warrior to sub-4 hour marathon finisher (in 90% humidity, no less). They get real about what it’s like being coached by your best friend, breaking past mental barriers, and fueling for performance after years of associating running with weight loss. This one is loaded with lessons for every runner who's ever doubted themselves.
What You’ll Hear:
- What changed when Courtney finally stopped running 7 days a week
- The mental shift that allowed her to believe in sub-4
- Nutrition breakthroughs that literally saved race day
- Why every runner needs a coach (yes, even your stubborn BFF)
- The brutal truth about race day chafing
