From Gang Life & Addiction to the Tahoe 100K | Martin Hernandez | I Am Redemption

Martin Hernandez joins us from Reno, Nevada, fresh off completing the Tahoe 100K, one of the toughest endurance races in America. But this story isn’t about running. It’s about redemption   After discovering 100 Miles to Redemption, Martin won a custom pair of I Am Redemption shoes in one of our giveaways. Those same shoes would go on to carry him through every major race of his journey, including the Tahoe 100K   In this episode, Martin shares his journey from gang life, addiction, alcoholism, and mental health struggles to becoming the father, coach, and man he always wanted to be. We discuss the wake-up call that changed his life, how running and fitness became the foundation of his recovery, and why he’s committed to helping others discover the same transformation   If you’ve ever wondered whether someone can truly change their life, this conversation is proof that they can   If you’d like to get involved with I Am Redemption, join us for a run, attend one of our community events, volunteer, or support our mission by visiting IAmRedemption.org   We’re all recovering from something   We are what comes after
