Breaking Records and Barriers: Neely Spence Gracey's Trailblazing Journey as an Elite Runner and World Record Holder

Ready to hit the ground running with an episode that's all about breaking records and finding joy? Our special guest, Neely Spence Gracey is not just an elite runner; she's a Guinness World Record holder, a mom, and a true trailblazer in her field. This champion bolted past the finish line pushing a stroller, setting a new record for the fastest mile run with a stroller. Fasten your seatbelts as we sprint through a conversation that's sure to leave you energized and inspired.

We're not just talking about running in this episode; we're talking about the journey. Our guest shares her experiences, from the highs of crushing world records to the lows of facing challenges. We'll hear about her training process, the role her son, Rome, played, and the support she received from Adidas and Guava Family. We also take a look at her refreshing approach to women's running, which includes lacing up in a Moana costume and embracing the fun and whimsy that comes with runDisney events.

As we catch our breath, we'll take a coffee break (our guest shares her preferences) and get into her new book. This isn't just a quick read but rather a guide that breaks down goal setting, nutrition, and strength training and even delves into the specifics of female athlete hormones.
