347. Blanca Grinkovitch, 20-Time Marathoner & Director of Juma Fit

"There comes a certain time that you just need a break. You're human. You don't have to feel great all the time. It's OK to be in touch with your feelings and say, 'I don't feel great, and I'm going to take five days off.' It's fine!"

Blanca Grinkovitch is a 20-time marathoner, Ironman, lululemon ambassador, director at New Jersey treadmill studio Juma Fit, and mom of twin boys. She runs a 3:07 marathoner and a 1:29 half-marathon, and today, in her fifties, she's running stronger and healthier than ever. On this episode, Blanca talks about how she has stayed happy and healthy on the run for decades at a time. She has boundless energy and excellent advice, and you're going to love her!
