Ep. 46: Chasing Sub-3 While Inspiring Other Runners | Laura Pett
Description
In this episode of Through Their Stride, I sit down with Tennessee-based marathoner Laura Pett to talk about her journey from collegiate cross country to chasing a sub-3-hour marathon.
Laura made her marathon debut in 2017 at the Atlanta Marathon, tackling a tough course and running 3:40. Since then, she's steadily improved — qualifying for the Boston Marathon multiple times and lowering her PR to a 3:04.
We dive into what's helped her make those gains, what it takes to close the gap to sub-3, and how she balances training with family life and a career.
Laura also shares how she uses her Instagram platform, @lpett.running, to connect with other runners, offer practical advice, and build a supportive community.
If you're chasing a big goal while juggling real life, this one will resonate.
