About this episode

Stephanie Garcia is “just a make it happen kind of girl.” She grew up in Virginia and was a walk on in the steeplechase. She’s been sponsored by New Balance for a decade, and just made the transition from track to trails and OCR.

In this episode we talked about:

• getting into running
• her journey as a track athlete
• reconciling not racing the Olympic Trials
• realizing “this is not fun”
• wanting to be authentic and true to herself
• switching to trails and OCR
• working with David Roche
• “you are enough”
• her love of the journey
• being “grateful and curious”
• what success means to her
• mental health
• and so much more!
