I am SO EXCITED for my guest this week - Diane Lauren! Diane is an avid runner and also a software engineer in tech. We got connected in social media a while ago, and somehow this conversation was the first time we chatted "in person."
This conversation felt to me like two friends catching up, and I hope you enjoy coming along with us.
Some topics we chat about:
- How Diane got into software engineering
- How Diane got into running
- Walking onto the XC team in college
- How starting running later helped her retain her love of the sport
- Comparing college experiences in Canada vs the States
- Geeking out about different areas of running
- Completion vs time goals
- The importance of sharing failures
- Getting criticism on social media as a woman
- Heart rate training
- Why she doesn’t depend on her watch
- Why she loves time based runs
- Will she venture into trail running?
- Her 2024 running goals
- Marathon racing strategy vs 5k racing strategy
Enjoy!
