Sylvia Weiner is a prolific runner. She’s 85 years old, and she
estimates that over the course of her running career she’s
completed somewhere near 2,000 races—and she’s got an extensive
collection of race medals and trophies to prove it. In 1975, Sylvia
even claimed a very special spot in Boston Marathon history. But
her most significant legacy has nothing to do with race accolades.
When Sylvia runs, she shows others what’s possible. Her long-term
dedication to the sport is impressive. “I stick to running for dear
life,” she says. That’s because running is more than a passion;
it’s a way of dealing with her traumatic past. On this week’s
episode, Sylvia shares her incredible story. Let’s just say,
there’s a reason Sylvia’s longtime running buddy greets her with an
enthusiastic, “Sylvia! She’s our hero!” Episode Credits: Host:
