Brian Reynolds lost both his legs to a childhood illness—and then his athletic career began. Now 31, he holds the world record in the half marathon (1:18:42) and once held it for the marathon (his PR is 3:03:22). But he's more than just a great athlete. He is remarkably resilient, grounded and optimistic. He talks to host David Willey about all the good that has come from his medical nightmare and about the challenges that he, and other amputee athletes, face in order to compete. 

Also, this episode features our first field-reported segment. It captures the unique experience of taking part in one of the most challenging, idiosyncratic sporting events in America— RAGBRAI, a weeklong cycling pilgrimage of sorts across the entire state of Iowa. Honey Stinger is the official nutrition sponsor of RAGBRAI, although it's not a race. It's a ride—but not in the way one normally goes out for a ride.
