Jack Farmer: Molly, how are you doing this morning?

Molly Holly: I’m doing excellent, thank you.

Thanks so much for joining us. What’s the best thing that’s happened to you so far today?

Today I ran 15 miles around Anna Maria Island in Florida. I’m on vacation with my family this week, and to be in the tropical paradise to do some of my marathon training has been awesome. So I’d say that’s been the highlight so far today.

We’re definitely going to talk about the training that you’re doing, I understand that you grew up a huge fan of American Gladiators. So I got to ask you, who was your favorite Gladiator?

Any of the women that were blonde and big muscles. That was I would say, my favorites. I just recently watched, they did a documentary on Netflix about them, and I was like, oh, yeah. So I couldn’t tell you exactly the name of because it was a little bit of a rotating cast, and I don’t remember the exact seasons that I watched, but I grew up in a family that we used to have posters. My parents had a gym and there were posters of female bodybuilders all over the gym. And so when I saw those women on the Gladiators, I was like, oh, that’s so cool. That’s what I want to look like. Unfortunately, I was never as dedicated enough to get those kinds of muscles, but I still thought they were really cool.

Yeah. I saw the show you were talking about as well, Muscles & Mayhem. I was going to ask you if you had seen it. Quite a story there. I will say, as a fan of Gladiators myself, I thought it was on for longer than they said it was on. I feel like it was on for decades, but nevertheless, I’m curious that you saw it because I see you’re not on social media, and I saw an interview you had done previously with Izzy. You had mentioned that you don’t have a TV in your house. So I wanted to ask, are those conscious decisions to stay away from social media or is it just not your thing?

I guess, I don’t know. Part of it is I feel like I missed the generation where it just became a normal thing, so I feel awkward forcing myself into it and I don’t know all the etiquette and I don’t want to post something I’m not supposed to. I just hear horror stories of people being canceled because they liked someone else’s post and then that person became somebody controversial. All that stuff. I was just like, I don’t need that added stress in my life at all, so I just keep it pretty simple. And then with the TV, I have one of those Samsung fold phones, so I just open up the screen and then I’ll watch something either at the hotel or at the airport or something. That’s the only downtime I really have.
