This week, we are getting to hear from Randi Zuckerberg—just a few days after completing the Cocodona 250. That is 250 miles up and over mountains, through the desert, in blistering heat, a lot of this journey done alone.

The fact that anyone wants to do this—CAN do this—is mind-blowing. But the fact that Randi Zuckerberg is doing it—is even more so. Because Randi is yes, THAT Zuckerberg. She was a pioneer at Facebook with her younger brother—and she’s gone on to accomplish so many amazing things. She’s won a Tony. She’s produces shows. Sings. Writes. Hosts a Sirius XM business podcast. Founded a media company. She’s a mom of three children.

Why would she be driven to put herself through something—running ultramarathons—that are at times, so tortuous? What does she get out of it?

Her answer will inspire you and make you think about what happens to us when we CHOOSE HARD.

In this episode, Randi and I unpack:

🌀What you learn about yourself when you choose hard & how running ultras makes her a better mom

🌀The fast escalation of her running career

🌀How her ultra running passion has influenced her kids,

🌀And how she fits her training into her already full life, and so much more!

I know you are going to love our conversation and come away so inspired!

Whitney Heins is a mom of 2, a lifelong runner, a VDOT-certified running coach for moms who run, and founder of the resource, themotherrunners.com. When training for her first marathon as a mom, she found a dearth of information related to running and motherhood. She also felt extremely isolated as a new mom. As a former TV journalist and a freelance writer she decided to use her skills to fill the void with an online resource and community, called The Mother Runners. Whitney also recognized a need for run coaches who understood the demands of motherhood, so she also became a running coach—unearthing a passion for helping moms reap the rewards and empowerment of running. Coming out of a long injury cycle, she ran a 2:54 marathon and 1:20 half marathon in her 40s. She lives in Knoxville, TN with her husband, two kids, and three dogs.
