About this episode

Ali Feller hosts a panel discussion with professional runners Annie Frisbie and Amanda Vestri at the Boston Marathon Expo.

"Go out there and send it within reason." Every year, I host a panel at the Boston Marathon Expo featuring some of the top American women in the professional field. This year, that meant getting to chat with Puma and Minnesota Distance Elite's Annie Frisbie and Brooks athlete Amanda Vestri on the Friday before the 2026 Boston Marathon. Annie went on to lead much of the race, ultimately finishing eighth overall and as the second American woman in 2:22:00 (and 81-second personal best). Amanda, in only her second marathon, finished 15th overall and as the eighth American woman in 2:24:49 — a 51-second improvement from her marathon debut in New York City this fall.
