Episode Synopsis

Welcome Back to Nuanced Beauty!

INTERVIEW EPISODE
Today I chatted with an old work colleague of mine who is training for ultra marathons. He shares how he found himself getting interested in running in 2020, after wanting to slim down to do better at Jiu Jitzu. He signed up for a few races and got to training, completing a couple half marathons, and then a marathon, and now he's set his goals on a couple ultra marathon races ahead. He shares the high of finishing his first marathon, and the low of not finishing an ultra. We discuss "who" is a runner, and as you might guess a runner isn't just the person training for the olympics. There's a lot of mental endurance that comes into play and the willpower to push your body into intense physical situations. We discuss future race aspirations, some alternative recovery suggestions, and how he races on the cheap (because it can get real pricey real quick in just replacing running shoes alone).
