Episode Description from the Publisher

Today,we’re doing something a little different. You’ll be listening in on a coaching call I’m having with one of my athletes. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like, here you go! I’m talking to PR Teammate Danny and I’m just going to include the intro he wrote for himself, because it’s awesome. Danny spent his first four decades avoiding cardio (or any sport for that matter), before hitting a mid-life crisis. After dropping 20 kg, a friend promptly scammed him into running a full marathon as his first-ever race. Plot twist: the friend Did Not Start (DNS) due to injury, leaving him to suffer the 42.2 Km alone. He's been addicted ever since. Now, he's obsessed with the mental grit of the sport and can be found @zidaniey when not busy drenching his kit in Singapore's humidity while battling his shoe-shopping addiction.  Danny is training for both Sydney and Chicago this fall and wants to be sure he's scheduled his tune-up races just right. We have runners from all over the world on the team and this was such a fun conversation I know you’ll enjoy. And of course, if you want to get in on the fun, what are you waiting for?  Learn more about the PR Team and sign up today at www.theplantedrunner.com/group.  Welcome to the Planted Runner.
