Amanda Vestri Is Going All In on the NYC Marathon
About this episode
Amanda Vestri isn't playing it safe heading into the New York City Marathon. After leaving Boston feeling like she hadn't pushed her limits, the Brooks professional runner committed to doing things differently: going to Boulder for altitude training, increasing her mileage, embracing harder workouts, and taking risks she's never taken before.
Amanda joins us to share what it's been like to push through 115-mile training weeks, why working with coach David Roche has changed her approach to running, and how she's learned that fueling and recovery are just as important as the miles themselves. She also opens up about managing self-doubt, finding confidence in uncomfortable situations, and why she believes the lessons from Boston could help her achieve her ultimate goal of making the 2028 Olympic team.
With New York just around the corner, Amanda is ready to find out what she's capable of.
