No goal is too big for world-famous marathon runner Becca Pizzi. She has completed -- and won! -- the World Marathon Challenge, 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents, twice! If that wasn't enough, the Massachusetts native has raced over 100 marathons, including the 6 World Majors and one in all 50 states. This past year Becca picked up a new sport and new training partner: triathlons and Zdeno Chara. Yes, both pretty crazy! Today we dive in to:

Training & Racing Triathlons (including Kona!)
The importance of setting big goals & mindset tips
Teaming up with Bruin Zdeno Chara for training & racing
The biggest sports adventure left on her bucket list
