In episode 4 of the PRP, Adam chats with seasoned runner and local PhD candidate Kayla Kroning who has been preparing for the Boston Marathon on October 11th, 2021. Kayla takes listeners on a tour of an action-packed summer of training that includes taking first place at a wine-themed half marathon and getting incredibly lost when attempting a local FKT. Did someone say hitchhiking near a prison? Kayla displays her composure and maturity throughout the episode as she discusses her outlook and healthy relationship with the sport. Adam and Kayla also take a deep dive into the world of Strava and chat about what they love about the platform, but more importantly, what to watch out for when using the platform.
Guest host, and Boston Marathon veteran, Alice Zhou keeps it real with an absolutely stoic performance. Alice shares how the two met, discusses their Boston roots, and explains how their relationship with one another fuels their dedication and success in the running world. Alice, Kayla and Adam all hatch the early stages of a plan to one day get their favorite trail runner, Courtney Dauwalter, onto the PRP.
