The latest guest on the Masters Milers Podcast is Roberta Groner. Roberta has an incredible story. She ran for St. Francis in college and was competitive runner, but never really reached the elite level. After college, she took 10 years completely off from running to focus on her family (she has 3 boys) and her career. She got back into running in her 30s and has steadily improved to the point where she is now one of the top marathoners in the US at age 41, while still working full time and raising her 3 boys. Roberta finished 2^ndoverall in 2:30 at the California International Marathon at age 39, and followed that up by finishing 12^thoverall and 6^thAmerican in the NYC Marathon the following year in a time of 2:31. Most recently, she just lowered her marathon PR to 2:29 by finishing 5th overall at the Rotterdam Marathon.
