We’re excited to welcome Marathon Goddess Julie Weiss back to the show this week to talk about her new memoir 52 Weeks, 52 Marathons: The Miles and Trials of a Marathon Goddess. Back in 2012-2013, Julie ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks to raise funds and awareness for the fight against pancreatic cancer. We first had Julie on the show to talk about this feat, why she did it and the impact she was able to have for her cause. In her new book, Julie goes in-depth about her life, her relationship with her father and how she found her way to running in her thirties. This all eventually led to her running 52 marathons in 52 weeks, and she shares some of the fascinating stories about these marathons and how she pulled off this ambitious endeavor.
In this interview, we chat about the book, share some of the stories included in her book, and talk about her latest initiative in the pancreatic cancer fight: 52 Races for 52 Faces.
