三个孩子的母亲成为打破纪录的跑步者

Every day at 4：15 a.m.， Helen Ryvaris out the door running—rain or shine.

“I’m just an ordinary person doingextraordinary things，” says Ryvar， asingle mother of three who runs her owncleaning business during the day.

The 43 -year -old Ryvar took uprunning in 2020.

Four years later， she is a Guinnessworld record holder for consecutive1half-marathons. By May 12 this year shehad run one every day for 743 days—allwhile raising money for her favoritecharities2. The previous3 record forofficially timed half-marathons was 75.

“The runs have become the easypart—it’s juggling life that has becomethe daily ongoing task，”said Ryvar， whohas three teenage children.

Ryvar doesn’t follow any specialdiet—just three balanced4 meals a day—and doesn’t really care about her speedwhen she runs. But she says it’s importantto run at the same time every day.

“I found doing it every day， you justget used to it，”she said.

Her advice is fairly simple：

—Drink plenty of water.

—Have a balanced diet and early nights.

“Form a habit，”she says. “If you’renot comfortable doing it by yourself， join agroup. Sign up for a race. When you have agoal， it makes a great difference.”

每天早晨4 点15 分，海伦·瑞瓦尔都会出门跑步———风雨无阻。

“我只是一个做着非凡事情的普通人。”瑞瓦尔说。她是个有三个孩子的单身母亲，白天经营着自己的清洁业务。

现年43 岁的瑞瓦尔从2020 年开始跑步。

四年后，她成为连续半程马拉松的吉尼斯世界纪录保持者。截至今年5 月12 日，她已经连续743 天每天跑完一个半程马拉松，同时为她最喜欢的慈善机构筹集资金。此前正式计时的半程马拉松记录是75 天。

“跑步已经成为一件容易的事情———兼顾生活已经成为日常的任务。”瑞瓦尔说。她有三个十几岁的孩子。

瑞瓦尔不遵循任何特种饮食———只 是 一 日 三 餐 营 养 均衡———也不在乎自己跑步时的速度。但她说，每天在同一时间跑步很重要。

“我发现每天都跑，你就习惯了。”她说。

她的建议相当简单：

——多喝水。

——均衡饮食，早睡早起。

“养成一个习惯。”她说，“如果你自己一个人跑不舒服，就加入一个团体。你可以报名参加比赛。当你有了目标，情况就会有显著的改变。”
