Her new mile record is 5 minutes and 24.17 seconds.
When Neely Spence Gracey discovered there was a world record to be held for the fastest mile run while pushing a stroller , she relished the prospect of chasing it. As a lifelong professional runner and mother to two young sons, goal-setting was second nature – and she was pretty sure she had already beaten the record anyway.
“As a mother runner, I really love that there’s a new approach to parenting where you don’t have to give up your own goals,” Gracey said. “For the longest time in the athletics world, once had kids, that was the end of athletics career. I wanted to show that … it’s important to still have goals and still chase down those goals and to take your kids on the way.”
“Once I checked off all the boxes and I got to be the most successful that I could in phase, I tried the next thing, and it was the same,” Gracey said. “I had checked off all my goals, I then became a pro right out of college … and I’m racing the best athletes in the world.” “I didn’t really do anything socially … it made me hyper-focus on my running to the extent that I felt like it became unhealthy,” Gracey said. “I’ve thrived a lot more in having a much more balanced lifestyle – having friends, having the kids, having my job.”Running is still at the core of what she does, but now, it’s not just a reflection of her own personal performance. It’s a bridge to a well-rounded way of life.
