Weighing 140kg & 30 Beers a day to running Ultra Marathons | 182 Alex Hermanson

310 pounds, 30 beers a day, half a pack of cigarettes and then one moment at the New York City Marathon changed everything. Herms watched his girlfriend cross the finish line and something broke open. The next day, he laced up and couldn't make it past a mile. One year later, he ran that same marathon on his birthday. We delved into the eating disorders, what it actually looks like to start running when you can barely walk a block, how an addictive personality can either destroy you or completely rebuild your life, and why the trail running community became the thing that brought him back to himself. If you've ever felt stuck, this one's gonna hit different.
