We are excited to welcome professional runner, Erika Kemp to the Suite Run Podcast! 

Erika is fresh off her debut at the Boston Marathon, where she ran a very fast 2:33:57. This time shoots her immediately to the top of "The List" and Erika is now the fastest American born black woman to ever run the marathon! Erika is sponsored by Brooks Running in addition to being a two time National Champion. In this fun conversation, we talk about the Boston Marathon, training, racing, her former and present coaches and so much more. In the second half we chat all things Beantown.
