In this week’s episode, Tay is joined by American track and field athlete and Olympic champion Gabby Thomas for a girl-talk chat! Gabby shares how she first got into running, what drew her to study neurobiology and global health at Harvard, and how difficult it was to juggle life as both a full-time student and elite athlete. She opens up about the moment she realized the Olympics were within reach, her training journey to Tokyo, and the mental toll of discovering a tumor on her liver just weeks before the Games. Gabby reflects on the emotional crash that followed the Olympics, how she prepared for Paris 2024, and what training and life look like today. She also talks about her pre-race rituals like breathwork and meditation, the mental health tools that keep her grounded, and what it’s been like navigating public attention, from airport stalkers to fan interactions. Gabby shares advice for young athletes struggling with pressure or burnout, and talks about launching Athlos, a new women’s track league she co-founded to uplift and support female athletes!
