I’m excited to have a conversation with Dom Scott on the podcast today! I had the opportunity to talk to her right before the Chicago Marathon in the fall and she was just so fun and so easy to talk to so we had to have her on the podcast.

Dom just announced that she is going to be running the Boston Marathon this spring! That will be her third marathon. She debuted the marathon at the London Marathon in the spring of 2023 running 2:29:19. She ran Chicago in the fall and ran 2:27:31. She’ll kick off the Boston Marathon build with a race at the Mesa Half Marathon.

Previously, Dom has been a 5k and 10k runner and is a two-time Olympian for South Africa. She is a four-time NCAA Champion for the University of Arkansas. She trains with Team Boss and is sponsored by Adidas!

Dom has such a great career ahead of her in the marathon and I cannot wait to follow along! We’re cheering for you, Dom!!
