How do you transition from the world’s most promising talent to a triple Olympic gold medalist while balancing a Master’s? For Gabby Thomas, the path to Paris was paved with a refined commitment to her own longevity. After the intense physical toll of the Tokyo cycle and the subsequent seasons of high-stakes racing, Gabby opens up about the essential "choice to choose me"—the deliberate decision to prioritize her health, recovery, and mental wellness over the external pressure to constantly perform.
This shift wasn't just about physical rest; it was about building a sustainable foundation that allowed her to walk onto the track in Paris with a sense of calm that only comes from knowing your "why."
That intentionality resulted in a career-defining performance in 2024. Thomas cemented her status as the fastest woman in the world over 200 meters, taking home the individual gold in Paris along with two additional gold medals as a dominant force in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays. On this week's episode, we dive into how she manages the "mental load" of being a champion, the data-driven approach she takes to her health, and why her purpose in public health remains the north star for everything she does on the track.

Inspiring podcast, one of my all time favorites

What I love about Hurdle podcast and Emily is that not only is she delivering high quality interviews with athletes and entrepreneurs alike, but she’s also relatable and insanely inspiring. Listening to her hurdle moments always leaves me feeling like I just had a pep talk from a close friend. She’s got the kind of energy you simply can’t fake. And when things get tough, I love that she keeps things real and honest. Thanks for sharing Emily!!!!
