Marc Callister (aka Melody's dad!) used to say "the only time you'll ever see me running is if I'm running to the kitchen!" He never thought he'd run a 5k...let alone an ultra! Listen to Marc's story to here how he went from couch to 50k in only 3years!

Episode Takeaways:
-You can't lose weight by working out alone...You have to incorporate nutrition
-Trails and roads are very different!
-Running more is not always the answer
-STRENTGTH TRAINING IS IMPORTANT
-Running an ultra is 10% physical and 100% mental

Marc's Advice:
-Start slow, no one is watching (and stay slow for as long as you need)
-Dial in your nutrition and hydration
-Bring a variety of food's with you on a run because you'll never know what you'll need/want
-Be consistent and persistent
