In this episode we speak with elite runner Mouad “Mo” Achhab. Mo moved to the US from Morocco, where he had been a “recreational runner.”  He ran his first marathon in 3:45, and his second in 2:57. Now, his most recent marathon time is a 2:32 and he is not even close to being done, always honoring his promise to his late father to keep fighting and keep improving. It goes without saying that his mindset is strong, and so is his work ethic. The tips he shares are golden. Don’t miss out on this episode!
