93. Software Engineering, Running & Social Media with Diane Lauren

I am SO EXCITED for my guest this week - Diane Lauren! Diane is an avid runner and also a software engineer in tech. We got connected in social media a while ago, and somehow this conversation was the first time we chatted "in person."

This conversation felt to me like two friends catching up, and I hope you enjoy coming along with us.

Some topics we chat about:

• How Diane got into software engineering


• How Diane got into running


• Walking onto the XC team in college


• How starting running later helped her retain her love of the sport


• Comparing college experiences in Canada vs the States


• Geeking out about different areas of running


• Completion vs time goals


• The importance of sharing failures


• Getting criticism on social media as a woman


• Heart rate training


• Why she doesn’t depend on her watch


• Why she loves time based runs


• Will she venture into trail running?


• Her 2024 running goals


• Marathon racing strategy vs 5k racing strategy

Enjoy!
