  For people running a marathon <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdcMBEXNKfI&amp;t=204">3:24</a> is rather fast, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdcMBEXNKfI&amp;t=204">3:24</a> at 70 is borderline insane.

  You&apos;re 77 years old, but your strength and endurance is that of a 25-year-old. Amazing 👍👍👍

  You are my inspiration! I began running three years ago when I was 65. &nbsp;So far, I have run 3 half marathons and 2 virtual marathons. I aim to run a full marathon when I am 70. Hope I will be still alive and kicking :)

  This woman is blowing my mind. I just started walk/running and my hip hurts, my knee hurts, my feet!!! How will this not wreck my body? Am I not stretching enough? I feel like a fit 43 yr old, but not after a run!

  at 75 she said her marathon time is 3 hours and 33mins. &nbsp;that&apos;s insanely fast. ... and she runs 50 miles a week? &nbsp;... and did you see the muscles on her legs?? &nbsp;omg. omg.

  Jeannie Rice is amazing - inspirational to our running community! I met her at the Tokyo Marathon 2025. She&apos;s so humble and easy to talk to. Amazing lady!

  Jeannie is so inspirational and, btw, very nice and approachable. The tips that she shared are so valuable and spot on. I will say though that she does have a special talent that goes beyond the training, that allows her to achieve these times. I have been running longer than her and run close to her maintenance mileage of 50 mpw, but I will never been even remotely close to her times. I still consistently run (ran 7 marathons last year to celebrate my 70th birthday) and do usually BQ, but am still so much slower. Thank you for sharing this interview. Priceless.
