Episode 248: Sari Winick-How She Did It: Navigating London Marathon Training and Breast Cancer


Listen Later

We are so thrilled to welcome Sari Winick, a seasoned masters marathoner and triathlete, to the podcast, who shares how she balanced a breast cancer diagnosis with training for the 2025 London Marathon.


Sari, 53, has been working with us for several years. After achieving consecutive marathon PRs and slowly chipping away at her time to get closer and closer to a BQ with a PR exactly a year ago, we knew she would get there and looked forward to coaching her to prepare for the London Marathon In 2025.


Then, just after completing her fall training cycle, Sari was diagnosed with breast cancer during a routine screening. Just two days after her double mastectomy, Sari, spoken like a true runner, reached out to us and said, “I’m still planning on running the TCS London Marathon. All of my doctors said it was possible. It won’t be a PR but hopefully a great goal at the end of this process.”


In this episode, Sari shares how she navigated surgery, chemo, and marathon training to achieve her goal-spoiled alert-she crossed the London finish line in 4:59.


We are so grateful to Sari for sharing her inspiring story! Follow Sari on Instagram @runswimmom!
