Sometimes, change can be a good thing. Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy catch up with professional runner Emma Grace Hurley shortly after she made her first US team, placing second at the USATF 10km Cross Country Championship.
Emma Grace, or EG as many call her, recently moved from her home state of Georgia to follow coach Andrew Begley to Indianapolis, where they have started a new training group under the name of Heartland Track Club. She talks about the difficulty of that decision, how her transition to the "(much) colder climate has been, and her plans for the season leading up to World Cross Country Championships in Serbia.
EG is a rising star in the distance world - you don't want to miss this conversation!
