200. Kara Goucher, World-Renowned Runner & 2X Olympian

Episode. 200. WHEN did we get here?! Honored to have Kara Goucher joining Hurdle for this milestone! We kick things off in episode 200 by talking about Kara’s recent diagnosis of runner’s dystonia, what that means, and how it’s affecting her emotionally and mentally. We also bring it back to talk about how she fell in love with the sport in the first place with the help of her late grandfather and what it was like losing him to COVID during the pandemic. Plus: Her journey to self acceptance and navigating disordered eating as a college athlete, and the hard work that went into both of Olympic experiences — first as an athlete and then as a commentator for NBC. We cap things off by chatting about the recent campaign for Altra that we were both a part of, highlighting that if you have a body — regardless of size — you are an athlete. I’m so grateful for Kara’s openness, and oh-so-amped to photobomb her Boston Marathon coverage. (I’m kidding, sort of …)
