    Today on the podcast is Olympian Kate Grace! 


    Kate has quite a remarkable career at every level and recently announced her retirement from the track. 


    In HS, she was a multi-time state-champion while competing for  Marlborough School in Los Angeles.


    Attending Yale University, Grace broke four school records, won six Heps championships (one as a member of a relay team), and was a four-time NCAA Division I Track and Field and Cross country All-American.


    Kate holds PRs of 1:57.20 (800m), 4:01.33 (1500m), 4:22.93 in the Mile & 8:46 in the 3k.  


    After the 2024 US Olympic Track & Field Trials where she made the 800m Final, Kate announced her retirement from Track & Field. As she details in this conversation, she's not fully done with the sport and will potentially seek to attack a marathon in the future.


    Kate and her husband Patrick have a son named River who was born in March 2023.


    In today's conversation, Kate takes me through her last month since "retirement," lessons and reflections from her long, successful career, her ambitions in the marathon, her hope to be a coach one day & lessons learned from her coaches throughout the years, and so much more!


    I truly loved this conversation and gained so much from Kate's wisdom. 


    If this episode blesses you, please share with a friend!
