Welcome to the Local Legends in Running Podcast. Today in Season 4 Episode 85, I invite elite female marathoner, Tara Palm onto the show. Tara is one of Australia's top all time elite female marathoners with an incredible 2:32 PB in the event. She also boasts a 1:10 in the half marathon, and certainly is targeting these events in more recent years. Tara and I kick off the conversation discussing the recent news of Faith Kipyegon's sub 4minute mile attempt and Ruth Chepengetich's positive drug test, and then get into Tara's background and training weeks. She finishes talking about nutrition and her future running moving forward where she plans to run the Sunshine Coast half and the Berlin Marathon. I hope you enjoy the episode.
