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.”
