236. Alison McPherson | From Winning a Trail 50K to Running Sub-3 at Boston – All In One Month

Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text Alison McPherson, a 31 year old lifelong runner, coach, and all-around powerhouse who lives in Canmore, Alberta. In March, Ali won a hilly 50K trail ultramarathon, and just one month later, ran a personal best of 2:58:13 at the Boston Marathon. If that wasn’t special enough, her 64-year-old mom – whom she coached – also crossed the Boston finish line in an incredible 4:09!  In this episode, we dive into Ali’s remarkable back-to-back performances, how she balanced recovery and racing, and what it meant to return to Boston with her mom on a much nicer day than they experienced in 2018.  Ali is someone who truly walks her talk, and her clients at Rhythm Run Coaching are lucky to have her in their corner.
