At 78, Jeannie Rice is doing something extraordinary - beating the men's age-group division at every one of the seven World Marathon Majors — Boston, New York, Chicago, Berlin, London, Tokyo, and Sydney.
At the 2024 London Marathon, she ran 3:33:27 at age 76, a performance 11 minutes faster than the winning time in the men's 75–79 division.
But the remarkable part isn't just how fast Jeannie runs. It's how she lives. She started running at 35, has spent more than four decades building consistency, and continues to challenge what most people believe is possible as they get older.
In this conversation, Jeannie shares why she believes aging well requires being a little more selfish — protecting your health, making time for yourself, maintaining discipline, and refusing to let age dictate your ambitions. We explore how she stays motivated, adapts her recovery, sets new goals, and why taking care of yourself ultimately benefits the people around you.
Whether you're 40, 50, 60, or beyond, Jeannie's story offers a powerful perspective on staying strong, independent, curious, and capable for life.
