Jacky Hunt-Broersma: Keep Showing Up; Keep Moving Forward - R4R 333


Listen Later

Ultrarunner Jacky Hunt-Broersma ran 104 consecutive marathons in the same number of days. That feat got her into the Guinness Book of World Records, but seeing her name in the record book wasn't her motivation. Jacky lost her leg to cancer when she was 26 years old, and she wanted to make a difference for other amputees.

She did just that, raising almost $200,000 to benefit amputee blade runners, and inspiring not only athletes who look different, but everyone who sees her and is motivated to not give up, and to keep going forward.

Allbirds looks at everything through a sustainability lens; it's at the core of who they are as a company and the products they create. Their performance running shoe, the Tree Flyer, is lightweight, super springy, and wildly comfortable, and they're Tina's go-to running shoes. They're her workout shoes, and she's run three marathons and an ultra in them.

The Tree Dasher is not only a running shoe, it's perfect for daily wear. For water repellent shoes, look no further than the Mizzle series. Allbirds has also introduced plant leather shoes, the Plant Pacers. You can see their complete collection here.

AG1 is an easy way to get 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole food source ingredients. It promotes gut health with prebiotics, probiotics, and naturally occurring enzymes; supports your immune system with Vitamin C, zinc, healing mushrooms, and more; provides magnesium to boost energy; and it's packed with superfoods, adaptogens, and antioxidants to help recovery. It's simple to make and it tastes good!

This is the time of year when our immune systems can use a boost, not only because it's cold and flu season, but because with less sunlight, our vitamin D levels drop. Go here to get five free travel packs of AG1, and they'll also send you a free one year's supply of vitamin D3+K2 with your subscription, to help keep you healthy year-round.
