🎃 Race Week For Megan, Our Halloween Recap, NYC Marathon Thoughts + Marine Corps Marathon Drama

It’s marathon week for Megan! She’s in taper mode and sharing her final pre-race thoughts as she gears up for the Indianapolis Marathon this weekend (with Karen cheering her on from the sidelines!). We also recorded this episode just before the NYC Marathon, so we chat about who we were excited to watch and the potential OTQs on the line. Plus, we dive into the controversy surrounding the Marine Corps Marathon after runners learned their OTQ results wouldn’t count due to the race not being USATF sanctioned. We also couldn’t resist a little bit of gear talk: what's the best type of top to wear on race day? _________________ CHICK CHAT – Send us your questions at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gettingchickedpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [gettingchicked@gmail.com] or DM us on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gettingchicked⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/gettingchicked/?hl=en] YOUR HOSTS – Karen Lesiewicz | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@kare_les on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/kare_les/] – Rachel DaDamio | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rdadamio on X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://x.com/rdadamio] – Megan Connelly | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@meganmorantwwe on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/meganmorantwwe/] FOLLOW OUR SHOW – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe on Apple Podcasts here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-chicked/id1742608116%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Spotify here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://open.spotify.com/show/25oa4b8odONMStCxUM30nX?si=ebcc635a75154c21%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the show on Instagram here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/gettingchicked] SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Beekeeper Coffee is bringing a new voice to coffee with its delicious cold brews made from premium Honduran beans and a drop of pure organic honey sourced from TrackTown USA (Eugene, Ore.) - they are available in four latte flavors - Vanilla, Mocha, Caramel and Horchata - as well as a Black cold brew.
