Over the last 13 years, Andrea Duke has run 45 marathons, progressively improving so much that she’s qualified for the 2016 Olympic Trials. She emerged on the scene of elite marathoners in February of 2014 when she won the Rock ‘n’ Roll New Orleans Marathon with a time of 2:58:07. She’s since lowered her personal best to 2:41:05 with a new coach and is breaking out of her comfort zone onto a new level. In addition to marathon training, she’s also a mom, professor, and business owner living in San Antonio, Texas (so she trains for marathons in her “spare time”)! We love her attitude of persistence, and favorite quote of ” You never lose – you either win or learn.” Her vast improvements came with hard work, including her favorite workout of 1k repeats:
What is your favorite workout?
What do you feel it benefits?
When do you like it?
Do you do best with other people running with you during the workout, or is it best done solo?
