90. What's New With You Week with Gwen Jorgensen

Published: Aug. 6, 2018, 11:21 p.m.

\u201cIt\u2019s hard. I go and put the work in and see a glimmer of hope and then get my butt handed to me a week later. It\u2019s difficult. But I know what I want to do and what I believe I\u2019m capable of doing, and I know I just need to continue to work.\u201d \u2014Gwen Jorgensen

When Gwen Jorgensen was on the Ali on the Run Show earlier this year, she had recently moved to Portland, OR, and had just announced her next big goal: to transition from an Olympic gold medal-winning triathlete to an Olympic gold medal-winning marathoner. Gwen has been training with the Bowerman Track Club, under the leadership of Coach Jerry Schumacher, and she's back on the show to give us all an update on how her 2020 pursuit is going. Plus, she talks about how becoming a mom to one-year-old Stanley has changed the game for her, and what she's learned from her fellow Bowerman Babes.
