Olympic Runner Shalane Flanagan on Her 'Unprecedented' First Year as a Coach and Mom
Posted Sep 19, 2020
Olympic medalist and 2017 New York City Marathon winner Shalane Flanagan retired from running last October and has returned to the track as a coach. "It's been an interesting first year of coaching," she admits. "But that's what athletics taught me a lot, is how to pivot, how to adjust, and just go with the flow and make the best of the situation."
