In 2010 I was an obese pack a day smoker who also drank too much booze. I saw Sister Bruder on TV. All I wanted to do after seeing her was one day quit smoking. That's all. Just stop smoking. So I did in 2011 and have not smoked since.
That lead to an unexpected chain reaction of eating better, no more alcohol, weight loss, bicycle riding and a whole new me. I went from sickly middle aged couch potato to a guy who rides a bicycle 150 miles a week.
She inspired me to stop smoking. I give her that. As for the rest that followed perhaps that was some sort of divine intervention? Anyway...I am pleased with what happened.
That's amazing...Congratulations!! 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Good for you dude. Well done indeed. Stay strong.
Strong work, congrats !
So strong :)
Great, and your story is also inspiring, thanks for sharing!
About 20 years ago I did some triathlons with her and she was amazing. Blew by me on the bike like I was on a tricycle.
Hope is endurance, it’s faith, a never giving up attitude. If we ever as human beings loose hope, we are lost! What an amazing human being she is! ❤️🙏🏽
I take my hat off to this lady.
She is an inspiration to everybody, no doubt about it.
"A human being without hope is a lost human!"
This woman's attitude is inspiring.
I love it, too, but it does help to not have to answer to a husband and take care of children and a house. I'm glad she didn't let the negative attitude of the other Sisters hold her back.
@Veronica Daniels Those are some lucky women, as I know my husband wouldn't have dealt with kids to that extent.
So is her bike fit
"Confinement can be an addiction in itself"
Wow.
Last week, early Dec 2023, I invited SM to my home in Penticton, BC where she had raced Ironman Canada 22 times. At 93, she was missing some of her friends there. I figured she and I would sit around the fireplace, eating candy out of our socks - but NO! She insisted we both go swimming, telling me she would do 6 laps of the 25m pool, but I counted...she did 11. What a joy and privilege it has been to be her friend. We've raced 16 Ironmans together and she has beaten me, 31 years her junior, 9 of those times. Her laugh is infectious and her friendship a treasure. May she inspire us all to get off the couch, go outside and MOVE! Read her book The Grace to Race for more insights, and see her NIKE commercial that played during the Rio Olympics. Pure gold!
Delighted to hear she is still alive as I've seen this video was made six years ago. When you see her again, please tell her she is so awesome and I'm watching her video in awe here in Ireland. She's exceptional 😊
She is amazing thanks for the update ❤️
“The past is dead and gone. The future is not the future until it gets here, and then it’s the present moment. That is the only thing that you’re responsible for.”
She's superbly badass.
Beautiful badass!
I hope I can be like her when I grow up!
Start now.
How is she doing? I run 15 km and my knees killin me. She swim, ride bike 180km and run 42km and she look really great. Pure miracle.
Time and patience. If you just started, that's totally to be expected. Keep at it. Do some strength training, and above all patience and consistency! Keep at it.
I think a lot of it is diet. You are what you eat. Some foods fuel a person better than others. Many swear by the keto or carnivore diets. I personally do a very meat heavy keto diet with grass fed beef. Eat a few organic fruits & veggies. No milk, no grains, no eggs, no sugar. And I have done over 100 miles this month between walking, tennis, a little jogging...and I am hypermobile too! Dont have any knee pain even though my knees naturally hyperextend. And deep sleep! You need good sleep to heal the body! Go to bed when the sun sets and wake up when it rises. Get vitamin D. Sunlight. I think on average my watch says I do about 11 miles a day? I would have to check what the actual milage total is... Next year I will be 50. My HRV is 55. And I exercise every day.
Find the kind of sports that fit. Knees are what they are. Losing weight also helps, if applicable.
Dont heel strike, run mid or front foot and buy some shoes with zero drop.
I imagine she eats home cooked, nutritious food and has barely eaten any processed food over the years…
This lady is amazing. I love her. What a message.... Thank you Sister Madonna.
Her physical health is nothing but a reflection of her amazing mindset, really inspiring words.
I am inspired. Thanks for bringing hope and encouragement to us senior females😍😍😍
Deep admiration, respect, and love for this amazing woman. Cheers and best wishes from Maui!
Wow! No words. An inspiration to all.
Go sister. Go girl
Amazing! I can't believe I'm just now seeing this. I love you Madonna Buder!
I agree : dont act your age, act your joy of life, be active , play, communicate, dance, dream, be creative. Love and celebrate llife in all possible ways. 🐸💚🍀
She is undoubtedly one of best athlete living.
What she do at 87 is unthinkable for almost any 20 years old.
This should be a LOT longer than 6 minutes. Wisdom and grace, what a lady
What an inspiration!! God bless!
Wow, what a huge inspiration.
God bless you.
My grandma went skiing when she was 70 but this is way better
That is still really good though
A true legend
Very inspiring woman!

I am from Brazil, and i live you sister
You're amazing! You have inspired me in so many ways, you're my role model.
There is a lot of wisdom to learn from this amazing lady.
Oh my God! What an inspiration 🔥♥️♥️♥️
An inspiration since first learning of Sister Buder during the 2005 Ford Ironman World Championship.
thank you sister
Wow this woman is amazing I would like to do this when I get older
Omg I love her😂
Thank you so much for the video!
lovely interview
She inspired me to start training for this triathlon.
Love this video!! Thank you 😊
Tears of happiness Stay strong Lady!
This is written 3 years after its posting. First, I hope you are still with us Sister. Your attitude and outlook are inspiring. And your stamina. Wow.
Still here as of Dec 6, 2023! Still swimming! Still making me laugh!
This needs more views, more than ever.
I really want to me her in person. I've heard a lot about her, I really admire her!
I wonder why no one wrote of her earlier. A million salutes
OMG I love her
Very strong ,powerful and young from inner, amazing 👍👍
Das ist wirklich sagenhaft !
You create your own destiny in life and sister Madonna has proven that she is fit. I salute you
When I grow up I want to be like her💚
Chapeau Madame 🎈💪❗
I’m out of breath jogging down the end of my road and I’m only 34. What an inspirational woman. Wish I had her motivation.
Focus on momentum over motivation. Just start with something small today, anything at all. A short jog or maybe a few squats or something. Then do something small again tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and so on. Soon, you'll find that with a little momentum you can build up speed and achieve something awesome!
Amazing!
thank you
Confinement can be an addiction. I could not agree more.
Shes my Inspiration

Anxiety isn’t always due to the future because for years after I was almost killed in an accident I had anxiety when the thought would come into my mind (and I couldn’t control it). This nun is interesting and it seems like has a wealth of knowledge.
Although she explained that the past for her was dead gone. Maybe she overgeneralised her thoughts and applied them to anyone.
Bella thats ptsd
Excelente!
Wow! Amazing!
Love her inner spirit
She seems so nice i want to met the rebel 😂
A lot of wisdom in a strong body.
I love this lady
I love sports

She speaks very well for her age too. I’m so proud of her💪💪💪.
Lol that intro. It's like a movie, the part where she says "something steers up in all of us..
Woow how inspiring!!!
Live in the present not the future 👌
Why isn't this called, 'Nun's on a Run'?
Love her!
Awesome!

Sabre Norris inspires alot of us
David Goggins would be impressed.

A world wonder
Wow!!
Uff powerful ending
Iron Nun is badass

She's better at basketball than me...
Mille bravos et respects Madame, une force de la nature et de caractère. Des exemples comme le vôtre donnent envie de profiter de la vie le plus sainement possible et non dans l'immobilisme. Je pense que rien n'est jamais trop tard. Une personne retraitée peut également se découvrir une passion pour le sport d'endurance et prolonger ainsi et surement sa durée de vie
Besides her extraordinary athletic achievements, I am commenting on her opener response. I can’t stand, when I am walking and minding my own business and the local bike clubs think the road just belongs to them. Share the road people!
