Artur comes on the podcast less than a month after finishing as the top masters runner at the Quad-City Times Bix 7, where he ran 38:12. He tells his story of how he returned to running at age 38 after being away from the sport for about 20 years and how he has had to overcome a significant health issue to exercise regularly. Artur, a 2003 Bettendorf graduate who came to America with his mother and stepdad from his native South Africa at age 9, talks about his diet and his go-to location for many of his workouts. He explains what he has learned from his first marathon in April in Champaign, Illinois, when he ran 2:40:21. Artur, 41, mentions why he goes to YouTube a lot and how important his family and faith are to him.
