Update: 2025-09-22
Description
What does it take to go from postpartum depression and doomscrolling on the couch to crossing the finish line of your first marathon? For Rebecca Simonic, it all started with a TikTok edit of the New York City Marathon that sparked something she couldn’t ignore. She set her sights on 26.2 and never looked back.
In this episode, Rebecca opens up about the messy, emotional, and rewarding journey of training for her first marathon in Pittsburgh. From balancing motherhood and running, to rehabbing through injury, to running a snowy solo half marathon just to prove she could, Rebecca’s story is one of resilience and rediscovering identity.
