Episode description

Carrie chats with Olympian Viola Cheptoo Lagat, who recently took second place at the TCS New York City Marathon in her debut marathon! They cover her background in the sport, growing up in a very fast family, the motivation behind her amazing run, the pain she felt from the loss of her dear friend and fellow Kenyan runner and Olympian Agnes Tirop, and how she is helping bring awareness to gender-based violence through Tirop’s Angels.
