41-year-old Polly Moody is back – along with her new coach, Jeff Cunningham – to break down her brilliant run at the 2024 Chicago Marathon.

Polly was on the show just after she and Jeff began working together in the summer, and despite having to hit the ground running and overcome a few significant challenges in training, their teamwork prevailed. Polly managed to shave close to two minutes off her personal best from 2023 and run a blazing time of 2:44:38, which was good enough for 4th Canadian and 6th in her age group.

Jeff is a man of many eloquent words and by the end of this conversation, you’ll not only get a sense of how funny he is, but also how much he cares for and believes in his athletes.
