Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter.

All right, folks, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Bitter, and today I am bringing you a guest interview.

Today's guest is Jackie Hunt Burisma.

Jackie first came to my attention when I was preparing for a 100-mile treadmill effort back

during the pandemic in May of 2020.

And I quickly learned that Jackie had also just recently ran 100 miles on a treadmill. The biggest

difference was Jackie has actually been both a cancer survivor and has a prosthetic on one of her

legs. So she had a few extra hurdles to get over compared to me while taking on any of her running efforts.

And certainly it was something she had to be mindful of when preparing for running 100 miles on a treadmill,

as well as the vast variety of other things she's done within the running world.

Her story is incredibly inspirational, and it is just fascinating to me to think that Jackie wasn't even a runner

before she had cancer and the prosthetic. So she took on running when a lot of the odds were

stacked against her. She's literally about to finish a huge project as she began earlier this

year. So she set out this year to

tackle 100 marathons in 100 days. So her obligations for this project essentially is for every

24-hour period of time, she has to knock out a full marathon. There has been some interesting

things that have happened along the way, something that would make most people, I think, quit. So you're going to want to pay attention to some of the stories that she

has, especially when we talk about some of her most challenging sections of this project so far.

One of the reasons why I'm releasing this episode now is when I spoke with Jackie, she was

90 some days into her, into her project, and she is

about to hit 100 today. So if you listen to this, head over to Jackie's social profiles and
