Episode 157: Justine Galloway Shares How She Runs Backwards to Achieve Record Setting Goals Ahead
from Run Farther & Faster — The Podcast with Coaches Lisa Levin and Julie Sapper · host Run Farther & Faster
After learning about 3 x Boston Marathoner, Justine Galloway’s journey on the Today Show, we had to reach out to se if she would share her story on the podcast. We are so grateful that Justine agreed to do so! Justine, a former runner for Rutgers University and a 3:16 marathoner, was diagnosed with Runner’s Dystonia at age 31 after suddenly not being able to run without extreme difficulty. Rather than quit the sport, she figured out a way to keep moving forward…by running backwards. Since her diagnosis, Justine has run 7 half marathons and the New York City Marathon backwards. In doing so, she set two World Records. What is most inspiring about Justine is her ability to take a seemingly insurmountable obstacle and turn it into an opportunity. Justine can be found on Instagram at Rennur316. Give her a follow and help her inspire others to overcome seemingly impossible challenges. Speaking of obstacles, don’t miss our bonus interview with the amazing Noah S., Lisa’s nephew, at the end of the episode.
