Today I am talking to Megan Roche. Megan is a doctor, a researcher, a mother, a podcast host and author with her husband David, and a prominent figure in the running community. I met Megan in 2014 during the La Sportiva Mountain Cup where we would race sub-ultra distances together and we were also on the U.S. World Long Distance Mountain Running Championship team together in 2015 where we won the team bronze medal in Switzerland.
Megan and I have a wide ranging conversation, talking about her experience transitioning from ball sports to track and field and how that challenged her relationship with food and body. We talk about navigating the demands of med school and the peaceful co-existence of living in a constantly changing body. Megan offers up some excellent advice like savoring the weird moments of the ick.
I hope you’ll find this narrative nourishing.
