I don't believe Henry Marsh has really been a practicing lawyer for many years. He has worked for at least the last decade primarily in questionable multi-level marketing schemes. He's definitely a "different kind" of lawyer.

You are correct that he hasn't been practicing law per se for a number of years. His practice is probably keeping these shady pyramid schemes just barely legal.

Yeah and you forgot to mention, her JD is from Stanford Law into the bargain.
Women are smart. You....well.... you know.
Most obvious is Quenton Cassidy.
Frank Shorter.
There is a guy Called Mizael Carreras who ran decent times the last couple of years (I think a 2:19 and a 1:05’s half) while at law school.
George Riley, who passed away a couple of years ago, was about as successful as lawyers get.
Harvard Law, circuit clerkship, and was phenomenal lawyer, tapped by Steve Jobs to represent him/Apple in most of their most difficult cases. He was close to Steve and figures fairly prominently in Steve's biography near the end, as he helped him deal with his illness. He earned millions every year, but lived simply - drove a saturn and had a one bedroom apartment when I knew him 15 years ago. Unlike most at that level, he did a huge amount of important pro bono work as well.
Also a great post-collegiate runner, training and (I think) qualifying for the marathon trials as a junior associate at a SF firm. When he was 50 and I was in my late 20s, he held his own with me.
I’m a lawyer and I train consistently but certainly not elite. 5:40 mile, 19:58 5K, female age 40.
I am with local government so the hours are usually pretty good but when it’s crunch time it’s a GRIND.
Like with everything in life, running successfully while practicing law full-time is about how much of a priority you make it.
For most of the last 20 years; I practiced at one of the larger firms in my medium size market, and for the majority of the last five or six years I trained fairly consistently for marathons. While I am not an elite runner, I’ve had good success as a masters athlete at good races. I also have three kids.
I was able to attain whatever success I have attained as a runner as a result of me basically prioritizing three things in my life above all others: spending time with my family, practicing law, and running.
That means that I lost a lot of times out with buddies at bars and watching sporting events and things like that as a result.
It also meant that I had to be really flexible in scheduling runs. Sometimes, that meant going for runs very early in the morning (rarely); sometimes that meant going for runs very late at night (very frequently); sometimes it meant sneaking out in the middle of the day when I had a dead spot in my schedule even though it was blazingly hot (frequently); sometimes it meant using running as a way to commute back from one of my kids sporting events or from dropping off my car at the car dealership or something like that.
In short, it is pretty much like being a dedicated runner while doing any other profession that requires full-time commitment. The reason why more professionals don’t run as competitively as they did when you were younger is that they are simply unwilling to prioritize it. That is not a criticism of them, it’s just a statement of relative priorities.In fact, I prioritized running pretty far down the list for the bulk of my early professional career, and came back to it as a masters runner because that have me. Ew goals to accomplish since I was never going to meet my college times as an open athlete.
Ever heard of Larry Macon?
