Episode 115: How Hard Could It Be?: From Spectating London to Running Chicago w/ Holly Kabler
Holly Kabler spent years cheering for her husband at marathons, convinced running just wasn’t for her. But after spectating the London Marathon and asking the question “how hard could it be?”, she decided to find out for herself. What started with Peloton treadmill classes and a spontaneous half marathon turned into a full training cycle and a start line at the Chicago Marathon.
In this episode, Holly shares how she learned to pace herself for the first time, figured out fueling after years of running without water, and approached her first marathon with one goal: have a damn good time. From dancing through the Chicago course to finishing in 4:36 and immediately wanting to do it again, Holly’s story is a reminder that sometimes the best race strategy is simply letting yourself enjoy the ride.
