Today we’re talking to Holly Zimmerman the author of Ultra Marathon Mom. She ran 160 miles across the Sahara Desert!! And she’s running the Mount Everest Marathon this week!!
Warm Up:
The first Half Marathon training group is doing amazing! I’m super proud of them!!
And a lot of you have been asking when the next group is starting and for a training plan that will help you lose weight, PR, run a sub-2 hour half marathon and more. So I’ve been working on a half marathon guide that covers all the bases! But it’s A LOT of information!
So I put together this Half Marathon Survey to see what you need to run your best half. Full disclosure – I don’t know how I’m going to launch this Half Marathon Training Plan but I’m hoping it will be available in June.

losing weight really needs a lot of effort… many people have lost their weights with this product including myself…
I truly love this blog, I have been really into health and weight loss recently and I love to read up on whatever’s here because it really has something behind it, not just a bunch of mumbo jumbo…
This is so inspiring Holly! Running long distance has always been something that made me think twice but after reading this I see the value. It took years to develop my sprinting skills but getting control over poor nutrition habits was key. I wonder what an ironman nutrition plan looks like? People are having real FAST!
The ultramarathon is incredible. it needs a lot of stamina and spirit, besides that it also can reduce the belly fat. People are having success losing belly fat with this…
I interviewed an ultra-marathoner for my work once. It’s so incredible, the distances he ran and what he accomplished!

Is an ultra marathon harder than a ironman?
