We are back with Cory Jennermann, co-founder of RunGuides.com, and super skilled runner and pacer. Run Guides is the go-to website for finding the perfect race for you.

We get into all things pacing from dialing in road splits, to pacing friends in super long trail events, and when to throw oranges at them.
I first interviewed Lizzie in 2020 when we was diagnosed with rare heart condition called AVRC.

We chat again about how she's learned to live with it and how far she can push.
