Ep134: Molly Seidel Olympic Marathon Bronze Medalist

November 3, 2022
Olympian Molly Seidel is a professional runner. She is well known for her incredible performance in the Tokyo Olympics heat to win bronze in the marathon. She was 2nd in the Olympic trials, which was, as is often remarked, her first-ever marathon. In 2021, Molly ran the fastest time ever by an American woman at the New York City Marathon in 2:24:42, shattering the previous course record by more than a minute. None of that success is a fluke. Molly graduated from the University of Notre Dame, where she was a 4-time NCAA champion, 6-time NCAA All-American, 6-time Atlantic Coast Conference champion and 2016 female ACC Athlete of the Year.

Molly often speaks up about mental health, eating disorders, the impact physical movement has on both. And how much she loves the sport.
