On this episode, Molly talks about her Olympic dreams that started when she was young, and what it\u2019s been like to actually achieve those dreams \u2014 twice. She talks about what it\u2019s actually like competing at the Olympics (she represented Team USA in the 5K in 2012 and in the 10K in 2016), and explains why last year\u2019s Olympics felt \u201clike a local road race.\u201d She also talks about the relationship between United States female distance runners right now (warm fuzzy alert!), how she trains her mental game, and her scariest career moments. Plus, she reflects on her marathon debut (at the 2016 TCS New York City Marathon), talks about being at the finish line for Shalane Flanagan\u2019s 2017 NYCM win, and shares what\u2019s next.
