On this episode of Runner Academy podcast I interview Laura Skladzinski of 50by25. Laura set a world record of being the youngest woman to complete a marathon in all 50 states. But that’s not all. She did it while working 50 – 80 hours a week as a strategy consultant often away from home while traveling to and from New York City each week.
Her background? Not a runner. Her whole journey started with a New Years resolution to learn to cook and run in 2007. Just over 3 years later she had completed a marathon in every state.
Her story will serve to not only motivate you but inspire you to what is possible.
Quick Tip
I will share with you what I do to get through tough times during training runs.

Hi Shannon,
Thanks for listening! I’m glad to hear that you were inspired by the story. It can be accomplished and I am impressed that you say a marathon and “maybe more”.
I have just downloaded all the podcast to date and listened to this one on the way to work this morning it was inspiring. I feel now that i can also do a marathon and maybe more i just started running in January this year and have felt like i was never going to get to run more than a mile. Its great to know that it can be accomplished.
Thanks for the great interview Matt, really enjoyed it. Hope to run my first marathon this fall. It has been hard to train in this heat this summer.
