Today Stuart and Katie had the opportunity to talk with Michael Adeniran, who is a weekend warrior as they call it. A while back he got into running, and then triathlons, ultra running, iron mans, Spartan races, obstacle courses, and so forth. He’s got a lot of experience now with all these different events and with that, a substantial amount of wisdom to share with us and our listeners. How Michael got started 3:15Going back to the basic human functions 9:00Doing an Iron Man 20:30His day job 23:15The importance of strength training 29:00Obstacle course races 35:00The shoes he wears to run 36:30“The more you get into the running life, you seem to stop doing as much strength training, and that’s where the injuries start happening. I remember in the early days of running, I didn’t have any injuries whatsoever, but that’s because I was more a strength trainer doing some running, but as I’ve become a runner doing a little bit of strength training, you see the differences in your body strength, and imbalances that come.” 29:15www.instagram.com/theurbanchallengertheurbanchallenger.com
