Alyssa Clark began running in Naples, Italy as a means to cope with COVID-19 lockdowns.
When Alyssa Clark began running daily marathons in early 2020 as a way to cope with COVID-19 lockdowns, she had no intentions of setting a world record.
Clark, who has been a runner since high school, watched as all the races she had planned to run were canceled. "I never went into it thinking I’m going to run 100 marathons," she said adding that she knew the record for consecutive marathons stood at 60."So I took every marathon as a gift and I never took any of them for granted."Courtesy Alyssa Clark
Dr. Shawn Anthony, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, told TODAY Health that there is"definitely increased risk of injury" with repetitive running, because there is not enough time to recover. "I never gave myself an out," Clark told TODAY."I also tried to celebrate hitting milestones within the marathons and milestone marathons. Hearing others being inspired by my marathons was incredibly motivating for me to continue.""My chest was really tight and I lost my appetite," she said."I was very determined that if I was putting myself at some kind of long-term risk health-wise — and that included putting a burden on the health care system — I was done.
