“At this point, it’s knowing the warning signs and when you can keep pressing on the gas and when you're kind of like, ah, I gotta, I gotta step on the brakes a little bit … If you've been unlucky and had an injury, you kind of know what it felt, what it feels like, whatever led up to it. You can think, ‘Ooh, this is similar. So maybe I just want to take a day or two off and go in the pool or do some kind of cross training just so I don't repeat history.”   Pro marathoner (and full-time occupational therapist) Maegan Krifchin had a pretty incredible fall last year. After what was, in her mind, a suboptimal performance at the New York City Marathon Nov. 6, she finished two more marathons in the span of 30 days—each faster than the last. On Dec. 4, she ran a personal-best 2:29:21 for seventh place at the California International Marathon in Sacramento. And she’s run four more since, including winning the Vermont City Marathon on May 28.   On this week’s episode, Maegan points out that it’s taken years of hard work to get strong enough for such a feat—and her lengthy running career hasn’t been only PRs and podiums. She’s had her fair share of injuries, including a hamstring pull less than 10K into the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials. But she’s learned from the setbacks and victories alike, and she has many lessons to share with other runners too, about everything from prehab to nutrition to adjusting your mindset about cross-training.    Resources/links:  Maegan’s Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook page The Runner’s World  article Cindy wrote about her back-to-back-to-back marathons    Thank you so much to our sponsors for season 6:   Fluid Running, which has revolutionized fitness by bringing running to the deep water IceeNOW.com, which provides innovative injury prevention and recovery solutions for athletes ADAM Rehabilitation, creators of the ADAM Brace System, the most stable exercise system built to save the health of your shoulders  Learn more and access exclusive discount codes for their products at buymeacoffee.com/rebound or by joining The Injured Athletes Club Facebook group.

107 | Elite Marathoner Maegan Krifchin: Trust in Yourself

“Like any athlete or person, when you cross one task off your list you think, ‘I can do better.’ After CIM, I feel OK and I ran what I ran but you know what? I probably can run faster. I felt very controlled and ran a very smart, conservative race where I knew I would successfully complete this task and this mission that I’m on.” Maegan Krifchin is a professional marathoner for the Atlanta Track Club and I decided to have her on because I needed to know more about the wild past 30 days for her. It starts on Nov. 6 with the New York City Marathon where she ran 2:40:52 in hot conditions. Two weeks later, she ran 2:31:42 to take second in the cold conditions of the Philadelphia Marathon. She capped off her year with a 2:29:21 in perfect conditions to finish 7th in a personal best at the California International Marathon, which also served as the USATF Marathon Championships. This PR was a long time coming for Maegan so I needed to hear more about her decade-long journey to this marathon threepeat.
