Listen Later

We have a truly inspirational episode for you! Martinus Evans is the brain and body behind 300 Pounds and Running, as well as the Slow AF Run Club. In today's conversation, we get to hear his story and his biggest lessons and reflections. 

From growing up next door to a drug dealer to his brother's tragic death, Martinus faced adversity from a young age. He lays out the path that he took to playing football and his aspirations to play for a college team. He then explains the obstacles that he encountered along the way and how he ended up depressed, unhealthily overweight, and in a doctor's office. 

Martinus explains how this meeting kickstarted his plan to run a marathon and the journey he embarked upon to realize this goal. A born hustler, Martinus unpacks his story with humor and energy, really underlining what made it possible for him to succeed at certain points and the difficulties he encountered at others. 

We get to hear all about the platforms he has now set up and what his goals are for these support systems. To hear it all from the amazing Martinus Evans, tune in!
