How Shalane Flanagan Overcame Setbacks And Won The NYC Marathon
Posted Sep 25, 2018
Shalane Flanagan: A professional runner is a lifestyle. It’s not your typical 9-5 job. I am “working” seven days a week and making daily decisions that allow me to prepare and recover from my training. A typical day starts at 6 a.m., eat breakfast, run 80 minutes, gym and core work, lunch, nap for an hour, therapy session, then an evening run of 30-60 minutes, dinner and to bed at 9 p.m.
