Episode 13 - Maria Polyzou, Marathon Legend - a podcast by Mass Participation World
from 2020-04-29T02:00
If today's edition of The Aid Station doesn't inspire you I'm not sure what will.
We travel to Athens, Greece, to meet marathon legend and cancer survivor Maria Polyzou, an inspiration with a list of achievements so long that it’s hard to know where to start.
Maria has just completed 10 months of chemo and radiotherapy for breast cancer during which time she continued to run each day to add to her career total of over 280,000km.
It's not hard to see why her motto of "Nothing is Impossible" has seen her achieve an array of milestones: Atlanta Olympian, Greek marathon record holder, National Champion for 20 years, coached 5,000 marathon runners, the Pheidippides Feat (13 consecutive marathons in 7 days) Ambassador of Marathon, author and much more.
Her two key tips in these times "focus on what we have" and "always have a dream and a goal"
