For training, he pushes two kids at a time in a running stroller, and even does his speedwork while pushing his kids, sometimes running more than 20 miles with them.

Once he graduated in 2005, he kept running marathons. Gillette has run so many races at this point that he has lost count, but he said the number is in the ballpark of 180 marathons in around 30 states.

“I purposely don’t keep track of the amount of marathons I run because I don’t want to feel like I’m wearing out,” he said. Gillette has raced in Hawaii seven times, and has completed several marathons in the Bahamas. He said he prefers marathon courses by oceans or beaches, rather than mountains, since he doesn’t have any nearby hills to train on.

All of those races have paid off over the years: Gillette now supports himself by running full-time, thanks to prize money from races and sponsors such as Ford Motor Company, which recently had a commemorative bobblehead made for his 100th win.Gillette chooses what race he’s going to do based on the schedules of his wife and kids. If he knows he can get away a certain weekend, he will find a race he can sign up for. The most marathons he’s done in a year is 25.

I'm most impressed that his kids will stay in the stroller for 20 miles. I've done all of that (including speedwork uphill with the jogging stroller), but my children's limit was 11 miles. Granted, he's likely faster than I was.

My training partner moved to another city and started running with his stroller. He kicked my butt the next time we raced together. Highly recommend!

People will be sad about this (and they should be) but okay with humans dying because they’re “illegal” 🤷🏽‍♀️
