Gabi Rooker has made one of the most unique athletic transformations at the top of the American women's marathoning field - All-American college gymnast to elite marathoner.

Gabi eased into running post-college while she tried a handful of other sports. Her talent and hard work soon elevated her to high-level local runner in Minnesota. Her potential started to become apparent with a 2:56 debut marathon at Grandma's in 2021! But, she was still 32 minutes away from her amazing PR of 2:24 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon. Not only that, Gabi as able to catapult into the upper echelon of American running while also working full-time at a hospital as a physician's assistant.

In this episode, Gabi takes us through her athletic transformation, the mental challenges along the way, and how runners of all abilities can harness their potential.
