The Runna Podcast

Calli Hauger-Thackery won a marathon at 8 weeks pregnant. The world had no idea.

She joined us before lining up in Boston at 22 weeks - with her husband, coach, and training partner Nick Hauger racing alongside her.

This episode goes behind the scenes of one of the most unusual high-performance partnerships in elite running: how they train together, compete individually, and what it really means to chase world-class performances while stepping into parenthood.

In this episode, you'll hear:

🤝 How being each other's coach, competitor, and life partner works in practice

🎯 What elite athletes get right about balancing training with real life, and what most runners get wrong
