Our guest on “We Run This” this week is Team USA star, Cory McGee.

Cory McGee began running competitively at the age of 9 and her love of the sport traces back to two distinct memories. The first involves three competitive sisters sprinting home from church every Sunday and the second is connected to the family moving to Greece.

Cory ran for the University of Florida where she was an NCAA runner-up and 10-time NCAA Division 1 Track and Field All-American. After graduation, joined Team USA and signed to run and train with the New Balance team in Boulder, Colorado.

During our conversation, Cory discusses growing up in a competitive family, moving to Greece and falling in love with running, struggling with migraines as a child, how running helps with her migraine issues, and some of the unwritten rules of track running.
