You may have never heard of Molly Bookmyer, but since overcoming two brain surgeries in 2015 she’s quickly becoming one of the top US Women’s Marathoners.
Molly opened up about her health struggles and her path to elite running with questions like:
- How Molly overcame the odds to run a 2:28 marathon after two brain surgeries
- How she balances training as an elite with a full-time job
- When Molly realized she had undiagnosed Celiac’s disease and how discovering this has changed her fueling
- What are Molly’s goals for the 2025 London Marathon where she’ll be toeing the line against some of the world’s best marathon runners
Molly Bookmyer is currently a Oiselle sponsored athlete and two-time Olympic Marathon Trials Qualifier with a 2:28 personal best after winning the 2024 Twin Cities Marathon.
Molly finally considers herself healthy after a long stretch of sickness and injury and will be a name to look out for when she toes the line at this year’s London Marathon.
