This conversation is Nell Rojas, who is an American professional long-distance runner, coach, business owner, triathlete and winner of the 2019 Grandma's Marathon (2:28:06). She also competed at the 2020 US Olympic Marathon Trials and finished in 9th place.

We talk about:

• The Runners World article she was featured in where Runners Speak Out About Running and Race.
• Winning the Bolder Boulder 10k, 40 years after her dad did, and we talk about the lessons he has taught her.
• Not getting wrapped up in training numbers. The importance of knowing yourself and trusting your training.
• Knowing that strong runners come in more than one body type.
• Talent vs hard work.
• Racing with Des Linden.
