Balancing running with Guinness World Records, motherhood, and PhD life with Heather Young (English) - a podcast by Sophie.Cro

In this episode I talk to Heather Young, the current world record holder for the fastest 10k with a hula-hoop (50min) and the fastest female marathon finisher in an Elvis costume (3h11min). She explains why running is like breathing to her and how it has accompanied her during life. She is a mother of one son who accompanies her along many runs. Heather explains how and why she wants to inspire him with her joy for running. We also talk about her current challenge of finishing her PhD in the Netherlands and how running is restricted but required during this period.
