INFO:

To call Yoon Young a serious athlete would only be the half of it. She has a Black Belt in Judo. And she’s competed in all six major world marathons and several ultras—including the 250K Kobi Desert Marathon. Despite these weighty accomplishments, her running philosophy also includes breaking free of the intensity and holding space for joy along the way. She’s got the Instagram handle @smile.runner to back it up. FURTHER Goal: Keep smiling through 500K. Current furthest: 155.34 miles
