206. Jacky Hunt-Broersma, Ultra Runner & Amputee Who Conquered 104 Marathons In 104 Days
Jacky Hunt-Broersma picked up running after her left leg was amputated below the knee after being diagnosed with cancer (Ewing sarcoma) in 2001. On April 30th, she finished her 104th marathon in 104 days, raising more than $192,000 funds for Amputee Blade Runners along the way. For today's episode, we're talking about the why: Why she went after this goal and why this organization means so much to her. Plus: How she had to adjust her original target of 100 marathons on day 86 when she learned that UK runner Kate Jayden recently finished 101 marathons. We also talk about how to tune out negative thoughts, what her recovery practice looks like, what she hopes others will take from her journey, and her next big goal of the Moab 240.
