Jereny grew up in poverty, and didn't have the resources or opportunities to explore athletics. She found running as an adult and ran her first marathon in 5 hours and 25 minutes.  Early into her running journey, she found the Sports Bra Squad movement, which encourages women to embrace their bodies and focus on what they can do rather than what they look like. Through this community, she repaired her relationship with her body, leading her to repair her  relationship with food. These were powerful catalysts that allowed her to run harder, longer, and faster. She eventually ran a 2:47 marathon - just 2 minutes and 5 seconds off the 2020 Olympic Trials qualifying time. She hopes to continue to working to snag that OQT, and then move on to long distance ultras My Marathon training blog : Patreon Discount code TRW15 for 15% off at www.janji.com Go to www.athleticgreens.com/TRWP to get 5 FREE travel packs and one year supply of Vitamin D!  Get free shipping on any order from Goodr at goodr.com code TRW

Teresa is a Navy wife, Mom of 4, and life long runner. She realized as an adult she was a very skilled marathoner, and was able to run a sub 3 hour including a 2:50 OQT attempt. After years of being "a slave to the paces," she found the trails and went straight into Hurt100. She has now run the epic 100miler twice and was lucky enough to have her son pace her for her last lap this year.  More from me @hilsport55 and more from Teresa @tluvs2run Go to www.athleticgreens.com/TRWP to get 5 FREE travel packs and one year supply of Vitamin D!  Get free shipping on any order from Goodr at goodr.com code TRW
