I sat down with Sergio Florian, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and endurance athlete. He has his own clinic on the island of Oahu called Wellness, Nuero and SCI where he and his team are dedicated to treating and training those suffering from neurological and spinal cord conditions.
He is a three time finisher of the HURT 100, to include a second overall finish in 2022. He had held the FKT for circumnavigating the island of Oahu until losing the title in late 2023.
We talk training, shoe preferences, the rescue of Stevie the dog, and so much more. It was an honor to sit down with Sergio. I hope you guys enjoy the conversation as much as I did!

December 17, 2023 2023 Honolulu Marathon Recap
Send us a text
A quick recap of my experience from the back of the pack. This was my wife's first marathon and we walked it together, as the Honolulu Marathon has no cutoff time and encourages people to walk it.
Having finished in under four hours last year, the 2023 race was a far different experience crossing the finish in just under ten hours.
Timing mats were pulled, aid stations minimized, and we were swept onto the sidewalk. We felt unwelcome at times.
This episode is a call out to the race directors to do better for the individuals that the running community benefit from the most. Those who are told they're not runners because of their abilities but have the determination to finish.
