In her marathon debut, Peyton Thomas ran a 2:42.57, qualifying for the Olympic Trials. She went on to run the Trials in February, where she ran a three-second PR on a day that included big hills, wild wind, and a handful of calf cramp-induced walk breaks. Peyton was the only American-born Black woman who ran that day, and on this episode, she talks about what that was like, and shares how her running has evolved from the days when she would black out while racing in high school and college.
