We were so thrilled to welcome one of our amazing Boston Marathoners, Lauren Hitchens, to the podcast.
Lauren is an experienced marathon runner, having completed ten marathons since 2016, including all six Marathon Majors. She set her PR of 3:38:35 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon, qualifying her for the 2025 Boston Marathon, her first. In spring 2024, after successfully running the Tokyo Marathon,
Lauren experienced pain in her foot that has taken her on a journey of seeking a path to healing that has required multiple expert opinions, an unconventional approach to training for Boston (including the use of tools like Lever and Fluid Running), and a reimagining of her goals for her first Boston.
Lauren balances her training with her responsibilities as a mother and business executive at Google.
We are so grateful to Lauren for sharing her inspiring story!
