Trading Roses for Running Shoes: The Bachelor’s Matt James Is Training for a Sub 3-Hour Finish at the TCS New York City Marathon


Listen Later

This week, Rob and Becs are joined by Matt James. Known for his unforgettable season on The Bachelor, Matt has traded roses for running shoes as he gears up for his fourth (in a row) TCS New York City Marathon. He played Division 1 NCAA football at Wake Forest University and now has turned into an endurance sports athlete. His move to marathons has proved successful, shaving two hours off his marathon time in two years! Matt shares his running journey on this week’s episode as he tries to chase down that ever-elusive sub three-hour marathon finish and talks about how running a marathon compares to being on The Bachelor. And for the second week in a row, our Member Moment features one of this year’s 26 Team Inspire runners, Sovena Ngeth, who is running her first marathon on November 3 and fundraising for Apex for Youth.
