In this episode of The Average Runner Podcast, Shayla sits down with Jess, an ambassador for the Badass Lady Gang and a passionate runner. Jess shares her experience running the NYC Marathon, offering insights into the challenges and excitement of being a back-of-the-pack runner, including navigating start times and the electric energy of the crowds. Jess also opens up about living with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that requires a strict gluten-free diet. She discusses how this has impacted her training, race-day nutrition, and the adjustments she’s made to keep running while managing her condition. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just starting out, Jess's story is full of relatable moments, inspiring perseverance, and valuable advice for runners of all levels.
