EP-242 FROM LOSS TO LEGACY: Julie Weiss and Her 52-Marathon Journey


Listen Later

In this episode of the 10Adventures podcast, we are joined by Julie Weiss, known around the world as The Marathon Goddess. After losing her father to pancreatic cancer, Julie turned to running as a way to heal — a decision that ultimately transformed her life.

What began as a single emotional run evolved into one of the most ambitious endurance challenges ever attempted: 52 marathons in 52 weeks, each dedicated to raising awareness and honoring her father’s memory. Julie has now completed over 100 marathons and written a powerful memoir, The Miles and Trials of a Marathon Goddess.

Julie shares how running became her anchor in grief, how she found strength during moments of intense fatigue, and why endurance sports can unlock profound emotional healing. She also discusses her simple but life-changing framework and how anyone can use it to achieve their own goals, no matter where they are in life.

This episode is full of heart, resilience, wisdom, and encouragement for anyone looking to find purpose, overcome adversity, or take the first step toward a big, audacious goal.
