Olympic gold medalist Monica Puig is halfway to completing all six World Marathon Majors.
“Every time I cross the finish line of a marathon and I get a new personal best time, I get emotional, I’ve cried,” Puig told CNN.by the end of 2024, according to CNN, and she’s already halfway done.
Training for and running marathons has given Puig a renewed sense of self. Completing a marathon, she told CNN, feels “very similar and very different” to winning a tennis match. There is less on the line with marathoning, so to speak, when prize money and rankings point are no longer factors.//Puig won a WTA Tour title in 2014 and Puerto Rico’s first-ever gold medal at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016. As a tennis pro, she always looked at running as punishment, she told CNN.
She’s looking ahead to triathlons, including an Ironman, which will test the integrity of her injured shoulder. But her injuries have taught her that she doesn’t have to play through the pain. Puig told CNN: “I want to continue to do this for my whole life; I see people well into their fifties, sixties, still doing triathlon and doing Ironman.”
