#109 Weini Kelati - Breaking the US Half Record Twice, Racing the Olympic 10k, Making Dreams Reality

On this episode, the boys had on special guest Weini Kelati. Weini recently broke her own US half-marathon record at the Houston Half-Marathon last month, running a blazing 66 minutes!

We got the full race recap, training insight before the race, and more! Weini also talked to us about her experience at the Paris Olympics, where she placed top 10 in the Olympic 10k. We also got a sneak peek on her 2025 race plans, listen to see if she runs a marathon this year!

On the second half of the podcast, we got to know Weini more personally. She told us her story of growing up in Eritrea, moving from Eritrea to the US, starting high school knowing no English, and adjusting to life in the US.

A long time ago, Weini made goals of graduating school and make the Olympics. She accomplished both of those goals. She is an extremely motivated and goal-oriented person who we learned a lot from on this episode.

This episode was really special for us, and we hope it is for you too. Thank you Weini for coming on!
