Sara Hall on running professionally, parenting, authenticity, and advocacy

November 13, 2020

In this episode of the Art and Science of Running podcast, we speak with Sara Hall @sarahall3 shortly after she set a new Half Marathon world record on the treadmill and just before she came from behind to finish second at the London Marathon. 

Sara has been one of the top American distance runners for decades. However, rather than review a lifetime of accolades and accomplishments, we dive into what makes Sara tick. Jacob @jacobpuzey and Sara talk about her motivations, her family, and her goals as a runner, global citizen, mother and a partner.

Additionally, we discuss the pros and cons of having her partner (American Record holder, Ryan Hall) as her coach and the strains that can place on the relationship or the training dynamic. How did Sara and Ryan decided to adopt and raise three children in the prime of their athletic careers? How they have learned to juggle the various responsibilities of parenthood and professional running?

We discuss all of this and more in the latest episode of the Art and Science of Running Podcast.

We really enjoyed learning from Sara and are confident that you’ll also learn from the insights that she shares.
