Ep. 55 – The RUNATL Podcast with Guest Meb Keflezighi

The RUNATL Podcast is hosted by Big Peach Running Co. Founder, Mike Cosentino, and Director of Marketing, Dave “D2” Martinez. This week on the RUNATL Podcast Olympian and winner of the Boston & New York City Marathon, Meb Keflizighi shares with us what he’s learned from running marathons and which he shares in his new book, 26 Marathons.

Hello, Friends!

He needs very little introduction and he’s one of the few people that people will recognize simply by his first name, Meb. Yes, we had Meb Keflizighi on the podcast and it was quite the treat to sit down with an Olympian, winner of the Boston & New York City Marathons! He shared with us his journey from being a refugee with his family from Eritrea, growing up in the U.S., how he got started in running, and how he made a career from running. Show Notes: For a more detailed background on Meb Keflezighi, check out his Wikipedia page. To learn more about his new book “26 Marathons – What I Learned About Faith, Identity, Running, and Life From My Marathon Career” check out this link and even purchase a copy for yourself.

I mentioned these new open ear headphones from AfterShokz, we have demo units in all of our locations so you can experience the audio quality and how they work. I think you’ll be very impressed. If you run or bike on the road and you use headphones, you should really consider learning more about this product. You want to be aware of your surroundings and keeping your ears uncovered will give you the situational awareness to react quickly and keep you safe.
