Summary: <p>Kim Sundling is an avid marathoner, cross-trainer, pharmacist with a focus on mental health, a bundle of energy - and someone who continues to work through depression and lupus. Not only that, but she is back on the show to detail her completion of the brutal Goggins Challenge. She ran four miles every four hours for 48 hours. Kim didn't merely complete this amazing test of endurance she nearly set a 5k PR over the final three miles. I've had the privilege of coaching Kim through my work with McKirdy Trained and she is one of the most inspiring people I've every met.</p> <p>Kim's first appearance on the show was little over a year ago. In episode 216, Kim detailed the various aspects of her life and how she ran two marathons in the fall of 2019 before doing the Goofy Challenge in early January, 2020. </p> <p>You can follow Kim at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pharmdpositive/">www.instagram.com/pharmdpositive</a>.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sponsors:</p> <p>OS1st, a three-generation, family-owned company in North Carolina, creates the best running socks and compression bracing products specifically for people with an active lifestyle.
