I love race cars and the Endurance classes are my favorites like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. That said i'm fascinated for Endurance in general. It's very interesting to see what are their mindset, their difficulties, the solution for their problems, what it takes to last longer, to go further... It's awesome. Katie is a very inspiring person. Great interview. Good luck on your first marathon Kate.
