15 Hours | with Magdalena Boulet

Olympian. Immigrant. Mother. Professional. Wife. Champion.
Magdalena Boulet wears many hats (yes, including her signature GU straw hat). In this latest snapshot of a typical day in the life of a remarkable athlete, Magda opens up and shares what it was like to immigrate to the United States as a senior in high school, the virtues and values of hard work and the bittersweet day when she earned her American citizenship as the country was under attack on September 11th.
Watch and listen to her fascinating journey into becoming one of the top ultramarathoners in the world.

Billy, these films are visually and emotionally beautiful. Please keep doing what you do!

[@BillyYang]

thank you so much Chris.

[@MikeEdwardsphotography]

As a new runner, stumbling upon your films has helped make this new journey in my life more exciting! Your films definitely help motivate me to train harder and hopefully one day run my first race. Be it a 5K or even a full marathon!

[@ColdFearFreestyling]

me too man , keep running ! never quit. I stopped when i started getting older , and it was the biggest mistake for me. I just started again and realized one thing, You don't stop running because you get old , you get old because you stop running. Right on!

[@j.b.2769]

Magda, thanks for sharing your pride in your citizenship. You're a model of a person who assimilated into a culture while still maintaining your identity and personhood. I'm proud to call you a fellow American. See you on the trail someday.

[@shawnjenkins5477]

Billy, thank you so much for providing us these helpful and inspiring films!! I am a undergraduate from Beijing China. And I have been suffering from the plantar fasciitis for 4 years, that almost ended Magdalena Lewy-Boulet‘s career in 2007. Fortunately she got on a rehab routine that included active isolated stretching and it cured her. Now I face the same problems, and am puzzled by it. I thirt for a healthy foot, and I disire living like a normal people.But I don't know how to contact Magdalena Lewy-Boulet and get her help, could you help me ? I would appreciate it if you could help me !
