A Runner: Bricks, Patience, Progress | Chris Minto

from Pushing Horizons Step by Step · host Ash Pant

Chris Minto didn’t grow up a runner, he built himself into one. At 46, overweight and embarrassed to even jog in public, he started with daily walks alongside his son. Four years later, he’s a 3:35 marathoner, chasing Boston, and preparing for a 50-mile run on his 50th birthday.In this episode, Chris shares how brick by brick, with patience and persistence, he transformed his life. We dive into the mental battles of starting late, the power of consistency, and how his journey inspired his wife, son, friends, and coworkers to lace up too.This is proof: it’s never too late to start, never too late to change, and never too late to inspire.Keywords:building a runnerrunning transformation storymarathon training journeystarting running late in life50 mile ultra trainingweight loss running storymarathon PB improvementBoston qualifier goalpushing horizons podcastrunning inspiration stories
