About this listen
Emily Infeld, 35, recently set a 10,000m personal best of 30:59.38. Three days later, she unexpectedly got a call asking if she would like to take part in Grand Slam Track's first Slam, in Kingston, Jamaica. She flew out 13 hours later.
Despite the late notice, she held her own, finishing fifth overall and leading the way for the Americans.
Emily won a bronze medal in the 10,000m at the 2015 World Athletics Championships, and she's been through many ups and downs since then. After spending the first 12 years of her professional career as a Nike athlete, she signed with Brooks in January. And she's back to working with her college coach, Chris Miltenberg.
Emily talked about how her training has changed, getting the Grand Slam call (on April Fools' Day no less), and proving herself right.
