Michael's Running Story

When I watch the NYC Marathon on TV, I’m always so disappointed when the coverage ends, and I only get to hear about the stories of the elite runners. Don’t get me wrong, the elite runners are amazing athletes, but honestly, the runners who inspire me the most are the back-of-the-packers. These are the stories I am most interested in hearing. Of course, I am and have always been that back-of-the-packer in a marathon, and if you’re not one of the elite runners, and you have a story to tell, which I guarantee you, you do, I believe the world needs to hear it. That’s what this podcast is for.
