To celebrate one year of Getting Chicked, we’re bringing on two very special guests — our former Notre Dame teammates Molly Seidel and Dani Aragon!

In this anniversary episode, we dive into some of our funniest and most memorable moments from college: team camp stories, behind-the-scenes of workouts, Molly’s business casual dress code debacle, Dani’s cross-country road trip with a stranger, and a few email gems we pulled from the archives.

Molly also fills us in on how training is going as she gears up for a fall marathon while Dani shares about transitioning from professional running to the working world and what’s next for her.

Boston Marathon recap headed your way! Karen and Rachel start by talking through the race morning experience, including navigating the pre-race bus situation, porta-potty lines, and running into some podcast listeners.

Then they dive into a breakdown of their races: pacing through the hills, signs along the course, and Karen accidentally deleting her run immediately after finishing. They reflect on their race results, the challenge of handling disappointment, and the difficulty of preparing for a marathon when so much rides on a single day.

Plus:

— First impressions of the Puma Fast-R 3 and the success of Puma Project 3 in Boston

— Rachel’s Receipts: which professional runners’ pacing profiles most closely matched Karen and Rachel’s races

— Quick recap of the New Balance Marathon Relay + preview of next week’s episode, which will cover their Notre Dame reunion
