Listen "How I Became a Distance Runner Against All Odds!"
Episode Synopsis
I was NEVER a runner. In fact, I went most of my life avoiding it. But now, at 6’5” and 270 pounds, I run distances I never thought possible. How did I get here? What changed? And what can YOU take from this journey to push past your own limits?In this episode, I’ll share how I went from running barely a mile to finishing a half marathon, my mindset shifts, and the key lessons running has taught me about discipline, resilience, and growth. Whether you're a runner or not, this journey is about more than just miles—it's about breaking barriers and redefining what’s possible.🔗 Links Mentioned in This Video:F3 Nation (Men’s Workout Group):www.f3nation.comAdaptive running and training plans: Runna App: www.runna.comTrack your runs: Strava: www.strava.comRunning shoes & gear recommendations: New Balance 1080s(Distance/pre-workout)Brooks Glycerine 20(speed/intervals/easy runs)Noxgear Tracer 2: running lights⚔️ About The Balanced Blade: At The Balanced Blade, we explore strength, resilience, and leadership through disciplined living and personal growth.
