On this episode, I chat with Ralph Nasar. As the Vice President of OPR, president of the Deal chapter and now official head coach, Ralph plays many roles. On this episode we dive into the emotional roller coaster of Ralph’s lengthy running history, which dates back to 2007, and explore his ten and a half year pursuit of his marathon goal. We tap into the power of running as a platform to do good in the world, pay tribute to loved ones, give back to the community, be there for friends and family, and make a positive-lasting impact. You can learn more about Ralph by digging through his old Instagram posts @Yankeenets or simply DMing and asking him!

This is the Voices of Ocean Parkway podcast, where we take a deep dive into the running scene of OPR & NYC. Each episode is a laid-back and free-flowing conversation with a member of the local running community, exploring what motivates local runners to lace up. You can catch the latest episodes of the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Anchor, and many other podcast platforms.
