Megan Cassidy is a 41 year old runner from Cleveland (Ohio), and she didn’t start running until she was 28 years old.

She has been running for 11 years now and her favourite distance is the marathon.

She ran 41 marathons in 41 days in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record. She was nowhere near that record, but she learned a lot about herself, her mind and her body.

Right now she is training for the London Marathon.
