In this episode, we break down how he’s improved little by little over the years, most recently running a 2:34 marathon.We discuss the decade-long arc of his development: the habits that kept him improving year after year, the accountability required to juggle full-time work with 80–90 mile training weeks, and the mindset that allowed him to continue improving even after his collegiate career ended.We talk about his recent top-50 performance at the Philadelphia Marathon, his accomplishments representing the Stevens Institute of Technology, and his humble high school running beginnings.If you’re a runner who loves stories of long-term growth, discipline, and sustained improvement well beyond college, this episode is for you.Hosted by Will Loggia#marathon #running
