Olympic Trials Qualifier Archives - Lindsey Hein

Episode 154: Laurie Knowles

Lindsey Hein — Fri, 30 Nov 2018 16:20:41 +0000

2018 CNO Financial Group Indianapolis Monumental Champion and Course Record Holder Laurie Knowles joins me on the podcast today! Laurie is from Atlanta, the mother of two and has qualified for not one, not two, not three but FOUR Olympic Marathon Trials. She will be running in the 2020 trials in her hometown of Atlanta thanks to her qualifying time in NYC last year and Monumental this year.

She came to run Monumental on a last minute switch from CIM due to having responsibilities to care for her Father right now. This took about 5 weeks of training out of her cycle and she still came out to Indianapolis and rocked the course.

In this episode, Laurie tells us about her love for running growing up and how the relationships she’s made through running have been lifelong. She also talks about raising a family and training hard while not taking that aspect of her life too seriously. What’s most important is family and that is so clear when you hear Laurie talk about her life. She is fun and energetic and has a positivity you will hear throughout the episode.

Episode 106: Sarah Bishop

2017 was a BIG year for Sarah Bishop. She PR’d in nearly every distance and qualified for the Olympic Trials in the Marathon, only six weeks after winning the Marine Corps Marathon. She is the Mother of four daughters (two of whom are twins) and works full time as a construction site contractor as a business development director. She served in the Air Force for three years, where she met her husband, who is currently still serving in the Air Fore as an engineer.

Sarah ran in High School and College (D1 All American 800 meter runner) but she hung it up for quite a few years and didn’t start competitively running again until 2014 after having four kids. She found herself in a slump when her twins were 6 months old and needed to do something for herself, so she took up running again and never looked back. She is a motivated and driven person and this episode will inspire you to not set artificial limits on yourself and dream big. That’s what Sarah did when she decided to break 3 hours in the marathon, only to decide not too long after that that she could also qualify for the Olympic Marathon Trials.

Episode 95: Lauren Floris

Episode 95 will round out the last of three interviews from ladies who ran CIM and rocked it. Lauren lives in Southern California (jealous!), is married to Henri and is the mom to Lavinia. Lauren ran in college and came back to running fast just a few years ago. She just ran a 2:44 marathon at CIM, qualifying herself for the Olympic Marathon Trials and taking 22 minutes off of her PR, which was 3:06. She talks about her training in this episode and what race weekend looked like and how even if things don’t go exactly as planned on race morning/weekend, you can still have a kick ass day.

Lauren is a cross country and track coach and also coaches runners on-line with her own coaching business. In this episode we also talk about the fact that she had a natural childbirth at a Birthing Center – as the mom of three, I just can’t even image. (Give me all the epidurals!) I’m always in awe of women you go natural and love hearing about the mental side of that – which Lauren credits to helping her become a tougher runner as well. Lauren is a listener of the show and those episodes are always super fun because listeners seem to be some of the best guests as they know the flow!

Enjoy this episode with Lauren!
