220 Marathons And Counting: Linda Ambard Runs to Thrive After Her Husband Was Assassinated

220 Marathons And Counting: Linda Ambard Runs to Thrive After Her Husband Was Assassinated

After her husband was killed in Afghanistan and the terrorist bombs at the Boston Marathon went off in front of her, Linda Ambard vowed not to let terrorism take any more from her. As of this year, Linda has run 220 marathons, with at least one in every state and one on each of the seven continents.

Linda's story is about more than just survival. It's about learning to thrive no matter what life gives you. Her running accomplishments are nothing short of amazing, but it's her perseverance that resonates most with me.

Coach Claire asks her about her incredible story, the naysayers who say she's running too much, and how she trains and recovers to run so many marathons so often.

Linda is deeply positive and inspiring so if you need a little lift in your steps today, this is the story that will do it.

Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers.

Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown in scientific studies to…

  • Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Significantly improve sleep quality
  • Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training.

When you're looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of magnesium.

My recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers because it's made with the highest quality, organic magnesium and contains all 7 critical forms. Most other magnesium supplements are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium, which is simply not enough.

For an exclusive offer go to magbreakthrough.com/runtothetop and use code run10 to save 10% when you try Magnesium Breakthrough. Plus, they offer a full refund up to one year after your purchase, no questions asked.
