Welcome to Chasing Three Hours, a podcast about what runners are chasing, why they keep pushing themselves, and what keeps them curious! On this episode of the podcast, Lucy Scholz joined Josh to discuss:

  • Why did she decide to run a marathon as a freshman in college? (9:03)
  • Having a bad marathon after college but figuring out how to balance work with running (17:00)
  • A whirlwind of events in running and in life surrounding her first Boston Marathon in 2017 (24:16)
  • Getting drawn to trail running (32:42)
  • Her now-wife pacing her at a 100-mile race (41:16)
  • Getting connected with The Speed Project (46:42)
  • Running The Speed Project solo after a tough time in her life and then again before an exciting time (53:09)
  • Being a role model (56:08)
