Rob Raux & the Hallucination 100 ft. Sarah Raux

2 hours 21 minutes

In S2Ep14 of the PRP, Adam gets enlightened by seasoned ultra marathoner, serial entrepreneur, proud father of two and massive nature enthusiast Rob Raux who has been preparing for the Hallucination 100 on September 9th, 2022. Rob displays his poise and maturity towards the sport throughout the episode as he shares some key lessons he's learned in the past decade with the PRP listenership. Perhaps the most profound lesson comes when Rob deep dives on balancing one's internal expectations vs. one's external expectations. Trust yourself, give yourself grace because you're definitely going to make mistakes and most importantly - don't wear yourself down attempting to measure up to other people's expectations of you. You're an experiment of one and your journey is unique and beautiful. Treat it as such!

Sarah Raux, aspiring runner, start-up connoisseur, proud mother of two and Rob's better half joins the show as guest host and offers some truly admirable insight into what it's like to be married to a certified trail fanatic. Although Rob's love affair with running is inspiring to her and the kids, Sarah gets vulnerable and provides intimate details about some of the challenges her and Rob have encountered along the way on their perpetual search for personal passion vs. family responsibility balance. What started as a rocky journey has now paved way for a smooth, mutually understood and absolutely beautiful alliance.

What is Rob's big pet peeve when it comes to the vast world of Strava? Ummm did Rob lift a couch all on his own down several flights of stairs just by wielding the power of love?! What the hell does #metrocountry mean? What exactly is a COVID butler?? Why should you never mess with Napster?! In times of doubt, should one most certainly risk it for the biscuit?! Wait did Rob pick Sarah up by spitting game on AOL instant messenger?! What is the difference between a real salad and a fake salad?? Whoa whoa whoa, hold on... are you telling me that Santa isn't real?! Team pancakes or team waffles? All of this and so much more on this equally hilarious and inspiring episode of the PRP.
