Today on the podcast is Marta Pen Freitas!
Marta runs for Brooks Running's Brooks Beast Track Club and represents her home country, Portugal, on the global stage.
She is a 2x Olympian and is currently working on her 3rd Olympic qualification. She's run 2:00.9 in the 800m, 4:03 in the 1500m, 4:22 in the Mile, and 8:47 in the 3k.
In today's conversation, Marta takes me through her beginnings in sport in Portugal, the coach that had a big impact on her, her time in the NCAA, including winning an NCAA title, qualifying for two Olympic Games, joining the Brooks Beasts, and her thoughts going into this year!
