This World Record Holder's Incredible Story from Overweight to Ultramarathon Champ with Sandra Villines

Jul 22, 2021 E58 01:22:37

We have heard some incredible stories over the past year, but this one just might take the cake.  

There is a prestigious record that had stood for almost 40 years before Sandra came and completely crushed it.

In 1978 - Mavis Hutchinson set a new transcontinental record by running from Los Angeles to New York in a little over 69 days.  It stood for 39 years, that's when Sandra set out on a longer and more difficult route (from San Francisco to New York) and completed it in only 54 days.

So is Sandra a track star with a pedigree of elite athletisism?  No!  In fact this humble, incredibly gracious athlete is a single mother who describes herself as overweight - and needed to make a change in 2013/2014...

Yeah - that's right!  From starting a new workout routine in the treadmill of her local gym - to winning the Badwater Ultramarathon a few years later in 2017 - a race in 100+ degree heat, where one false step can literally melt the shoes off your feet.  And then setting an impossible world record.

You're going to love this incredibly inspiring conversation holder with an incredible woman.
