On this episode of The Marathon Podcast one of Tracksmith Stamata's team members is guesting the pod.

From Tracksmith's website:

Maria Luevano-Salazar was born in Mexico, the eighth of nine siblings. Moving with her family to the United States at 13, Maria graduated with an advanced degree in Bilingual Education and is now Vice-President for Mission at a Jesuit Catholic high school.

Married with four children, Maria found running as an adult, running her first sub-four marathon in 2017, and breaking three in 2023 with support from the community at 3Run2.

"I approach running with commitment and consistency, and I also hope to pass that passion along to the next generation. I coach cross country and work to help young athletes—especially girls-find their love for running and a sense of belonging in the sport."
