How would you handle being diagnosed with an incurable condition that affected everything you do? One whose symptoms came on suddenly and erratically, and affected you both mentally and physically?
If you’re anything like Besty Mueller, you’d use it as inspiration for the greatest endurance adventure of your life.
Betsy is training to be the first person with MS to run across the United States.
In today’s conversation, you’ll learn:
What inspired her to set out on this adventure
What her training, diet, and life look like, and
You just might be inspired to search for your own limits in running and in life.
Betsy is coached by multiple time guest Matt Fitzgerald, who I’ll talk to again soon, who admits that he’s never trained an athlete like Betsy for a goal quite like this.
If you need a little motivation or inspiration for your own running, this one is for you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The podcast I needed
“After a health scare eight years ago, I went plant-based. It changed my life and my health. A year and a half ago, at the now ‘masters’ age of 59, I was out taking a brisk walk as part of my daily exercise and I realized I suddenly wanted to run again. Run like I did when I was a child. It had been so long since I had just taken off and been spontaneous with my physical activity. So I decided then in there ‘I wanna run again.’ I could barely go half a mile without stopping and I had no idea what I was doing. I downloaded a couple of things and finally set a goal; I wanted to run a 5K. Three months later, I finished my 5K and I was hooked on running. I wanted to improve so I went and started looking for podcasts and books. That’s when I found ‘The Planted Runner.’ It spoke to my lifestyle, the way I see the world and gave me instructions that I could follow implement in my day-to-day life. It inspired me at a time of of life when it’s hard to sometimes become inspired. I just recently finished my first 10k at the age of 60 and now I’m training to see if I could possibly do a half marathon. Your podcast in addition to the techniques, recipes, and science-based motivation, has been a game changer. Thank you!”
