Gabby Thomas

Gabby Thomas is one of the fastest women on earth and is a two-time Olympic medalist, but she’s so much more than just an athlete. Gabby graduated from Harvard, where she studied neurobiology and global health, and is currently studying for her Master’s degree in epidemiology at the University of Texas at Austin, all while maintaining her elite training schedule. Gabby joins the WHOOP Podcast to discuss her journey to running (2:12), how the difference between peak performance and poor performance is the matter of hundredths of a second (8:46), her academic pursuits (10:15), using WHOOP (13:24), recovery behaviors (15:10), the mental side of running (21:35), the importance of sleep (32:00), muscle recovery (36:06), nutrition (39:16), being thankful for good health (43:26), and her goals beyond running (46:51).
