166: Breaking 3:30 - Sarah's Rotterdam Marathon Debrief

Sarah lined up at the Rotterdam Marathon with one goal: sub-3:30. This episode is an open and honest debrief of her race day experience and the hard work she put into her training, both mentally and physically.

Sarah shares how her mindset heading into Rotterdam was completely different from any race she’s tackled before and reflects on how that shift shaped both her experience and her performance on the day.
