Jamie Hershfang

Jamie Hershfang, one of Chicago’s most popular lakefront runners, is my guest on this episode. We get into her running story (she started as a swimmer in high school), dealing with the up and downs of trying to qualify for the trials and how that led to her trying ultra running, along with future goals. She also became the first woman to complete an FKT on the Lakefront Trail with a time of 4:14:43. I’m happy to be the first to have her as a podcast guest.
