Ep. 99 - From Not Running To Berlin Marathon In 3 Weeks: Rene Aldrich On Running For More Than Times

The Sunday Shakeout

This week on the podcast is the return of Rene Aldrich!

Rene was the fourth guest I ever had on the show and this week she returns to the podcast. Just eight days ago, Rene raced the Berlin Marathon along the streets of Germany in a time of 4:38:34. While the time might not sound impressive, Rene suffered a grade two calf strain just three weeks earlier and did not run until the day before the race.

So today's conversation is more than just about the times. In her forties, Rene is still running marathons and half marathons, having completed over 240 total. We talk all about the experience of running the Berlin Marathon, Berlin's unique cityscape, the calf injury and subsequent recovery leading into the marathon, how she overcame doubt, the importance of joy and finding your why in the sport, and much more!

Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

I hope you all enjoy this week's episode of The Sunday Shakeout!
