Roy Pirrung: USA Track and Field Masters Hall of Famer
In episode 11 we had the honor to have ultra marathoner, hall of fame runner, national record holder Roy Pirrung in the studio.
\nAt the age of 71, Roy is still crushing the running game. But that wasn\u2019t always the case as he will tell you for himself. From being a 2-pack-a-day habit, struggling for air just to walk up a flight of stairs, Roy has completely turned it around. He has completed over 1,100 races, finished more than 150 marathons and 215 ultra marathons AND has over 105,000-lifetime miles. He has broken over 70 American Records and has garnered 82 National Titles. He is a world masters champion and an age-group world record holder. He has competed internationally over 50 times, in 21 countries and gained entry to USA Track and Field Masters Hall of Fame. Roy is an absolute legend, but his good spirit spreads far behind running through the many ways he gives back to our communities.
