Episode Six: Toeing the Line With Kaytlyn Gerbin

Kaytlyn is an elite runner for The North Face, a bioengineer, and all-around amazing human.

And… I have to admit, she’s one of my personal heroes.

We chat about what it was like for her to become a professional athlete and the challenges that come along with it, including imposter syndrome. We also chat about women toeing the line at races, and her experience starting at the front of the pack at Transgrancanaria, among many other things.

This episode is full of race wisdom, quick tips, and excellent advice. Don’t miss this one!
