On April 16, 2007, Sunita "Suni" Williams ran the Boston Marathon. But she wasn't in Boston. She wasn't even in the United States.

Inside the International Space Station, more than 250 miles above sea level, the NASA astronaut became the first person to run a marathon in space.

Williams, now 59, found her endurance tested again in June 2024 after . Her expected eight-day trip with fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore lasted nine months. The pair splashed down safely in Florida on Tuesday evening, and that night.

While in space, astronauts must exercise two hours per day, every day, according to , as zero-gravity conditions can cause "bone and muscle deterioration" over time. Williams worked out first thing as part of her morning routine — waking up at 5:30 a.m. GMT and "running, cycling, and weightlifting" until 7:30 a.m., .
