We talk with Amory about all things marathoning and what it took to break three hours after 40. She walks us through the lessons along the way: divorcing her data at Chicago in 2019, redefining her race at Boston in 2021, asking better questions at CIM in 2024, and finally embracing change at Boston in 2026. Amory is a wealth of knowledge and an absolute joy to talk to.

Emily Saul is back, and she's a favorite of ours and yours. This time we learn more about her background and how she ended up with a master's in sport psychology. We also get into the transitions a lot of runners go through, like coming back from a break, whether that's injury, pregnancy, or just a choice you made, and learning to meet your body where it is right now. As always, Emily sends us off with some great advice.
