Sarah Sellers and the Craziest Schedule in Running

Rugile Kaladyte for The New York Times

In a world filled with Type A people striving to achieve the ultimate juggling act, Sarah Sellers is a worthy competitor.

Sellers is the American nurse anesthetist and long distance runner who came out of nowhere last year to finish second in the chilly deluge that was the 2018 Boston Marathon.

A year later, Sellers, 27, is headed back to Boston for Monday’s event. Logging up to 120 miles during as many as 11 weekly training sessions, she has lowered her personal-best time for 26.2 miles to 2 hours 36 minutes from the 2:44 she ran in Boston.
