You’ve run the Boston Marathon® several times, including with iFIT in 2021. Is there a special moment that stands out from that year?
Heather: “I loved running a portion of the race with Chris Nikic. He is an amazing athlete that has Down Syndrome, and he is proving that anything is possible. And running it with [the iFIT Community] is my favorite memory. There’s nothing that will compare to that for me.”
Is there anything you want to say to the iFIT Community before running this year’s Boston Marathon®?
Heather: “I am so excited, and I hope you’ll come along with all of us trainers that are running it. I hope to see you either in person or on your machine with me!”
