This week, I’m joined by a very special guest, Karen Bertasso Hughes. She is an orthopedic physician’s assistant here in Albany, NY as well as an Olympic Trials qualifier. Karen qualified for the 2020 trials in Atlanta, at the Hartford Marathon in 2018, realizing a dream and goal she set for herself in 2014.
Here we talk about her exciting intro to road racing and the marathon, more specifically, after a childhood and young adulthood centering around soccer as well as number of positions and volunteer work she has done abroad.
In her career it isn’t uncommon to work 10-14 hour days with a large portion of it spent on your feet, so I was particularly interested in her ability to stay motivated during these long work cycles and her ability to recover and how she prioritizes her training.
Today is Karen’s birthday, so if you could show her some support and thanks for sharing her story, give her a follow on Instagram at KickAssBertass. Let’s seen if we can get her to 1,200 followers – she is about 5 away last time I checked.
Sit tight and I hope you enjoy.
