After having birthed 4 children in 6 years Beatie Deutsch thought she would pick up running in order to get in shape. She was inspired by her husband who recently rode a 180-miles on a bicycle for charity, so she decided she would run a marathon.
She trained four days a week for four months and placed SIXITH in the Tel Aviv Marathon! After such success in one race she decided to run again and now has competed in hundreds of races all around the world. Shes even raced at 7 months pregnant and finished 4 hours and 8 minutes and ran another marathon just a few months after giving birth!
SHES INCREDIBLE!
Although she had never thought about being a professional runner, Beatie realized she was meant to run and she is currently training for the 2020 Olympics.
Beatie is an Orthodox Jew. But for her, running isn’t separate from her religious beliefs, it’s sustained by it. Even when she trains, Beatie maintains her modest attire: her necklines cover her collarbone, her sleeves cover her elbows, and her skirts cover her knees. As a married woman, she always runs in a headscarf that covers her hair. She feels empowered by the idea that female athletes don’t have to expose their bodies to win championships.
