Maryann is an NYC local and California native. She went to MIT where she got her bachelor's degree in computer sciences and her master's degree in AI. While at MIT, she ran on the track and xc team, becoming an All-American and a D3 champion in the indoor 3k. She struggled on and off with fueling and an injury cycle after her junior year, and her experience with this inspired her to create a training app for runners called Toga. She found her way to the marathon and is currently a member of Central Park Track Club chasing an OTQ in the marathon at Chicago this fall. In this episode, we talk about: How Maryann got into the sport of running in high school after transitioning from soccer What it was like transitioning from high school to running at an academically rigorous school like MIT, and why D3 was a good fit for her Her struggles with fueling that led to episodes of bulimia and an injury cycle, and how she found her way back from that to focus on fueling for performance Her new AI powered app for runners, Toga, and why it was important to her to include a feature that helps hold runners back to reduce risk of injury or burnout How she discovered high carb fueling during runs, and why she feels like it has changed the game for her to get 120g of carbs per hour during training and marathons If you would like to keep up with Maryann, you can find her on Instagram at @maryanngong.
