I ran the Appalachian trail while working remotely. Here’s what it taught me about work-life balance

I ran 2,197 miles to celebrate my 50th birthday and raise money for clean water. And I kept working the whole time.

I’m a professional marathon and ultramarathon runner. I’ve broken the world record for running seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, and I’ve completed a 3,234-mile run across America. But this? This is the biggest run I’ve completed and it’s been a dream of mine since I was 16.
