Ralph Sutton takes a solo episode all about how he went from being overweight and unable to do a single pull-up to becoming a dedicated runner logging more than 1,000 miles a year.
Ralph breaks down how he started during COVID with Couch to 5K, why starting ridiculously small actually works, and the importance of finding an exercise routine you can stick with. He shares what he's learned about accountability, electrolytes, running shoes, hydration, energy gels, chafing, running in extreme weather, dealing with injuries, and staying consistent when motivation disappears.
AJ joins the conversation as Ralph explains why you don't need to be fast to be a runner, why he rotates different pairs of shoes, how he handles long runs, and why listening to your body can be more important than blindly pushing through pain.
Plus, Ralph explains why running ten miles through a snowstorm can make you feel like a warrior, how exercise creates positive momentum in the rest of your life, and why the only person you're really competing against is yourself.
