An accountant turned  “Queen of Triathlon,”  Since winning gold at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Gwen Jorgensen has captivated fans of running—in part because during that golden performance, she pulled away throughout the run segment of the event and had the fastest split of the day for the 10K.  In 2017, Jorgensen announced she was giving up the “comfort” of triathlon dominance to pursue a bold new goal: Win an Olympic gold medal in the marathon. Her announcement came just months after giving birth to her son Stanley.   http://www.gwenjorgensen.com/ ​ #GwenJorgensen​  Jim Walmsley is an American long-distance runner. He holds several course records and fastest known times, including the Western States 100, set in 2018 and further improved by 21 minutes in 2019. He was named UltraRunner of the Year for four years in a row - 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. In addition, he qualified and ran in the 2020 Olympic trials in the marathon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Wal... ​ #JimWalmsley​  Kílian Jornet Burgadais a Catalan professional sky runner, trail runner, ski mountaineer and long-distance runner.  He is a six-time champion of the long-distance running Skyrunner World Series and has won some of the most prestigious ultramarathons, including the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, Grand Raid, the Western States Endurance Run and the Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run.  Jornet claims to hold the fastest known time for the ascent and descent of Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Denali and Everest.However, the Everest performance was disputed in 2019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%AD... ​ #KílianJornet​  In March of 2020, I slipped on the illegally dumped cooking grease in front of John’s Burger and couldn’t walk for 6 weeks. This was my first injury since I started Endurance Training in 1979. Then in late April of 2020, I ended up in the hospital for the first time in my life. The diagnosis was Congestive Heart Failure. This Vlog / Podcast documents my Sixth Decade of Endurance Training. The past Decade was about HOW FAR I could go.  This Decade will be about HOW FAST can I go post Congestive Heart Failure. https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON
