This week Nell Rojas joins us after winning her first US title after taking down Jenny Simpson at the USATF 10 mile championships in 52:13. Nell is another fantastic example of traveling a truly unique road to success in professional running. She graduated from Northern Arizona University with a modest 5k personal best of 17:11, but after exploring other endurance sports, returned to make a huge splash on the roads recently. Although she won the 2019 Grandma’s Marathon and finished 9th at the US Olympic Marathon Trials, many running fans may still be unfamiliar with her story — let’s try to fix that!
