Michelle Walker Has 6 Kids & Has Finished 115 Marathons

Michelle Walker is kind of a super hero.

Michelle Walker

This mother of six kids has run 115 marathons (as of this post), run a marathon on every continent, and run a sub-4 hour marathon in each of the 50 states.

Allow that to sink in for a minute.

Michelle is an incredible woman, and I really enjoyed talking with her about running and traveling. She’s done a lot of things that I hope to do as I continue on my running journey, so she’s definitely a role model of mine!

• Fitness has always been an important component of her life
• The importance of goals
• Using running as an excuse to travel
• The experience of traveling to and running in Antarctica
• Balancing family responsibilities with running and traveling
• Amazing races in amazing places, where would she go back and run the same race again?
• Giving triathlons a shot
