Kara Goucher is happy and fit. This past summer and fall, Kara built up to 110 miles a week, and with no pain, she is back to giving racing a go. “When Colt (their son), went to school, I went from 4 mile runs to 12 mile runs.” Gradually building her fitness, Kara Goucher has decided to give the marathon a go again. Her last one was in the 2016 Olympic Trials, where she came an oh so close 4th place.
