I’m 38, have a full-time job, two kids, and I just signed up for my first ultramarathon — a 50K race with 2,300m of elevation. The only race I’ve ever done before this was a half marathon.
This episode is my full breakdown:
Why I signed up
What I’m training for (and against)
How I lost 70 pounds chasing the NHL
My weekly running and strength routine
What I eat to hit 4,500 calories a day
The mental fatigue that comes with being a dad, husband, and manager
How our “Rad Dads Running Group” turned into a form of therapy
Why I train for performance, not aesthetics
No hype, no hacks. Just one guy documenting the reality of chasing a big goal while life keeps coming.
