#204 Gabi Rooker - From NCAA Champion Gymnast & Full-Time Physician Assistant to 2:24 Pro Marathoner

On this episode, the boys had on special guest Gabi Rooker! Gabi is a 2:24 marathoner and just finished 9th at the Chicago Marathon.

Gabi had a unique route to professional running. She was a NCAA champion gymnast, and her first marathon was in 2021, where she ran a 2:56 at Grandma's Marathon.

In 2022, also at Grandma's, she ran 2:34 and qualified for the Olympic Trials. In 2023, she ran 2:24 at Chicago and ended up signing a Nike contract before the 2024 Olympic Trials.

We chatted about Gabi's quick rise in the professional ranks, her build to Chicago and the race itself, and what's next for her!

Enjoy!
