What drives someone to run three major marathons in three weeks? In this episode of Pushing Horizons: Steps by Steps, we talk with a marathoner who has completed all six World Marathon Majors and is heading into Chicago, Amsterdam, and New York City this fall, not for the PR, but for the experience.

We dive into why running doesn’t have to be about chasing times, how to balance training with joy, and what it means to stay injury‑free while running back‑to‑back races.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

✅ How to run marathons without burning out

✅ The mindset shift from chasing pace to chasing joy

✅ Balancing recovery, rest, and long-term running goals

✅ The emotional high of crossing major marathon finish lines

Whether you’re training for your first 5K, aiming for a BQ, or running just for the love of it, this conversation will remind you why we lace up in the first place.
