The D3 Trials Files: Holly Clarke
Happy New Year!
We kick off 2024 with Holly Clarke - a Johns Hopkins grad.
Holly is gearing up for her 2nd Olympic Trials next month and is excited to bringing more experience and miles to the line with her.
To get to the 2020 trials, Holly took off 30 minutes from her time going from 3:12 to 2:42. During that time she realized she was under fueling and worked to properly fuel her body for a big breakthrough.
The key for Holly has been having a community around her. After graduation, she took time off of running but when she moved to San Fransisco she joined the Impala Racing Team.
Being around teammates and others training at a high level has inspired her to keep the dream alive after graduation.
At Johns Hopkins, she came in not on the varsity lineup and worked her way into the top 5 her junior and senior year. She was a part of two national champion teams but has mixed views of her time in college. She developed an eating disorder - which she talks about in the episode.
This episode has a theme of growth and progression. Steadily improving year after year and continuing to learn about what works for you.
