Courtney Alama: Where Run Club Culture Meets Elite Running
About this episode
Courtney Alama joins Peter and Lindsey to share her journey from running a 3:02 marathon to qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Trials at CIM. She reflects on overcoming an Achilles injury just weeks before her breakthrough race, the importance of finding joy in running, and the unexpected opportunity to race in the elite field at Boston after her original marathon was canceled. Courtney also shares how she's balancing competitive training with her role in the growing Cooldown run club community and why she's setting her sights on even faster times.
