Seven Marathons. Seven Continents. Seven Days. Twice!

On this episode of Run the Riot, we welcome Becca Pizzi, a powerhouse in the running world. Becca isn’t just an ultrarunner; she is a two-time finisher and former record-holder of the World Marathon Challenge, where she ran seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. She was the first American woman to complete it and later broke the Guinness World Record with a time of six days, seven hours, and fifty-eight minutes.

Not only that, but she has also:

Run a marathon in all fifty states
Completed the World Marathon Majors
Raced twenty consecutive Boston Marathons
Competed in the Kona Ironman World Championships

In this episode, we talk about:

How Becca balances running, coaching, race directing, and family life
What it takes to train for the World Marathon Challenge
The mental and physical toughness needed to push through back-to-back marathons
Running a marathon in Antarctica and then flying straight to ninety-degree heat
Training hacks, race tips, and how she fuels for endurance events

Whether you are a marathoner, an ultrarunner, or just need some inspiration to push your limits, this episode is packed with motivation, training wisdom, and incredible stories.
