The Fastest Woman to Run Around the World

Calling all adventure-lovers, big-goal setters, and armchair travelers: This episode is for you! Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Tish Hamilton, guest Marie Leautey, the second woman—and fastest ever—to run a complete circumnavigation of the globe and author of the new book Lootie’s World Run, shares:
-how her globe-circling adventure came to her at age 39;
-how she got in “go” mode to run 25 miles/day, 6 days/week;
-things she learned + discovered on her 17,553-mile (!) journey;
-how + why she re-programmed her running stride; and,
-why the stroller she pushed encouraged empathy from strangers.

Before the globetrotting guest joins around 9:14, Sarah shares a silly story about a Duolingo duel with a BAMR.
