    Luc Eggers. Stronger Than His Storm.

    Welcome back Luc Eggers! Last weekend Luc successfully completed the Philadelphia Freedom Challenge, which is a 2 day / 3 event challenge. On Saturday he ran a half marathon (13.1 miles), two hours later ran an 8K (4.97 miles) and then on Sunday he ran a marathon (26.2 miles). Covering 44 miles in 2 days is a challenge in and of itself, but a wrinkle in the plan jeopardize the whole thing. That wrinkle, is anxiety. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 19.1% of Americans struggle with some degree of anxiety. That's just those who report it, I bet the number is a lot higher. In this episode we not only talk about the Freedom Challenge, but how we got through an unexpected episode of anxiety, and crushed it all!

    Rich Clark - Beyond the Finish Line

    In today's episode I chat with my "brother from another mother".... Rich Clark. Rich is a husband, father, teacher, race director, and much more. For over 22 years he directed multisport events throughout Western and Central New York, and was also the Operations Director for the Buffalo Marathon for many years. We have been friends for nearly 3 decades and while I made him discuss his least favorite subject: HIMSELF.... I feel like his story is one people want to hear. Score-This.com
