From Bodybuilder to Boston Qualifier: Can John Goldman Accomplish the Unreasonable?


Listen Later

John Goldman is a former bodybuilder and currently the CEO of Rebel Health Alliance. After running a 5:13 marathon last December, he's not attempting the unreasonable: to qualify for Boston in a year.

He enlisted the coaching of physiologist and ultra-endurance coach Alan Couzens to guide his training.

This episode is a case study on how to accomplish unreasonable goals. How do you progress your fitness so you can run almost two hours faster in the marathon in only a year? What do you focus on? What is the correct order of what to focus on? How is his progress going after only two months?

Follow along with his progress on X!

And big news: Muscle Health Plus - a unique combination of amino acids, creatine, and ingredients that aid protein synthesis and absorption of amino acids - has an all new citrus flavor that is much tastier than black cherry. Now's the time to try Muscle Health Plus because this is your anti-soreness supplement. It will help you prevent muscle damage, which is particularly important for aging runners who want to protect themselves from muscle loss and recover faster after hard workouts.

I love Previnex because they adhere to the highest of standards: their ingredients are clinically proven to do what they say they're going to do, ingredients are tested, and they donate vitamins to kids in need. So yes, Muscle Health Plus has ingredients that are clinically proven to improve protein synthesis and the absorption of amino acids - critical for helping promote lean muscle mass, strength, recovery, and better body composition.

Jordan left a review that said, "Love the Muscle Health Plus formula. Hard to find such a complete blend like this that's stimulant free. I Notice I'm stronger in the gym when taking this regularly."
