Molly Gutt has one of the most unique athletic backgrounds that we've ever had on the show. Cheerleading and gymnastics as a teenager gave way to aerobic kickboxing in her 20's. From there, she was eager to test herself against other fighters and moved to Muay Thai - a combat sport that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. A short time later, Molly proved herself as one of the best around. She is two-time national amateur Muay Thai Champion at 112 lbs. and 119 lbs.
During her Muay Thai training Molly was introduced to running. At first it was simply a way to gain aerobic fitness. After yet another injury, Molly began to full in love with endurance sport. Running is a far cry from the explosive sports that populate Molly's past. Yet, she has found a deep affection for the sport and now looks to continue striving for PR's and greater distances.
